‘Carrot’ Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Hey fam! Today, I’m excited to share with you a fun and tasty treat: carrot-covered strawberries. I know what you might be thinking – “Ashley, have you lost your mind? What is a carrot chocolate covered strawberry?” Well my friend, let me tell you. It’s a simple, yet delicious, white chocolate-covered strawberry that looks just like a carrot! They’re simple, delicious, and perfect for adding a festive touch to your Easter table on a budget.

Let me show you how to make them:

Supplies

|| Strawberries || Candy Melts || Piping Bags ||

Instructions

Step 1- Clean and thoroughly dry the strawberries

Step 2- Melt candy melts in microwave at 50% power, starting for 1 minute and then decreasing to 30-second increments until fully melted. Stir gently after each 30-second increment.

Step 3- Carefully dip entire strawberry, excluding the stem, into the melted coating chocolate.

Step 4- Place the berries on a parchment-lined sheet tray. To expedite the setting process, place berries in the fridge or freezer for 5 minutes.

Step 5- Carefully add the remaining coating chocolates to a piping bag and snip a very small hole at the end. Alternatively, you can use a gallon size ziplock bag.

Step 6- Drizzle chocolate across each strawberry.

Step 7- Allow the chocolate harden completely. Then, serve and enjoy!

Serving and Storing Instructions

Serve the berries cold or at room temperature. Only keep them at room temperature for 2 hours. Store them in an airtight container for one to two days. Keep in mind that quality and condensation may alter the berries’ quality, so I recommend consuming them within 24 hours after making them.
