Insert skewers or toothpicks into the tops of the strawberries.
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir until the sugar dissolves.
Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring until it reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer, about 10–15 minutes.
Remove from heat immediately once it reaches the right temperature.
Working quickly, dip each strawberry into the hot syrup, coating it evenly.
Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden.
Allow to cool completely before serving.
