If you're looking for an easy fun Easter dessert recipe that involves no baking and not a lot of time, then Candy Coated Easter Strawberries are for you! Turn your strawberries into carrots using candy melts and orange food coloring. They are great to leave out as Easter Bunny treats for that hard working, up-all-night bunny!
Start by rinsing your strawberries. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Heat your candy melts in the microwave in 30 seconds intervals until melted.
Add the food coloring and stir. You can add more if you want a deeper orange color.
Dip each strawberry in the melted candy and place it on a plate to harden. To speed up the process, you can place the strawberries in the fridge for 15 minutes.
If you wish you can serve them on a plate with the crushed Oreos to make them look like a carrot patch. Enjoy!
Notes
Nutritional information is per chocolate covered strawberry.Instead of the candy melts and food coloring you can use orange candy melts or white chocolate chips and orange food coloring.
