Strawberry Carrots
We like to spice up our spread on Easter with a few fun themed foods. These fun strawberries are easy to make and get the kids to eat some fruit before emptying their Easter basket. They also make a fun surprise as your addition to any pot luck.
INGREDIENTS
1 lb Strawberries
8 oz Orange Candy Melting Chips
Orange Sparkling Sugar (optional)
DIRECTIONS
Gently fluff stems upward on strawberries.
Place strawberries in freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Melt chocolate by microwaving for 30 seconds, stirring and repeating until melted and smooth.
Get a piece of wax or parchment paper large enough to hold all strawberries.
Use a spoon to spread chocolate near the stem around the top.
Holding by the stem either dip or spoon chocolate over the berry.
Optionally you can sprinkle with sparkling sugar.
Place on paper.
By chilling in the freezer, the chocolate will set up immediately.

This is so great!!! I love it, and it would appeal to kids much more than chocolate dipped and is so colorful and fun!!! I must try it!!
What a cute idea for Easter!
Very clever idea, they look like little carrots, perfect to put out for Easter, and everyone always loves chocolate covered strawberries.
how cute and fun these would be to make for Easter.
Wow! seriously this is my first time to hear about this. So smart idea. Thanks for sharing
Another super creative treat. I had just glanced and thought they were little fat carrots. I had to do a double take and come back to check it out. LOL
This is such a cute and creative idea. I so want to do this next easter!
We love chocolate covered strawberries and these are just super adorable. The sparkly sugar really makes them extra fun too!
A nice twist on a classic. These would be perfect for so many holidays depending on the colors of chocolate.
What a fun treat for my family. We’re having a lot of family members at our house for Easter dinner. I’m going to make these Strawberry Carrots as one of the desserts I’ll serve. Thanks for sharing!
