If you're looking for an easy fun Easter dessert recipe that involves no baking and not a lot of time, then Chocolate Covered Easter Strawberries are for you! They are great to leave out as Easter Bunny treats for that hard working, up-all-night bunny.
We are not big on a fancy Easter dinner, in fact we often joke about how boring Easter dinner food can be. For us it's about the dessert. We make this fun Easter dessert by covering juicy strawberries in orange colored melting chocolate so they look like carrots.
These candy "carrots" are a healthy-ish, cute and fun Easter dessert for the kids and adults. They make a lovely addition to the dessert table, along with Easter egg hunt pudding cups, no-bake cheesecake bunny tails, and mini egg rice krispie treats!
Ingredients
You only need 3 ingredients to make your strawberry carrots.
- fresh strawberries
- white candy melts + orange food coloring
- crushed Oreos (optional)
Instead of the candy melts and food coloring you can use orange candy melts or white chocolate chips and orange food coloring.
Step-By-Step Directions
Strawberry carrots take no more than 15 minutes, if that, to make.
- 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.
- Serve on a plate with the crushed Oreos to make them look like a carrot patch. Enjoy!
Recipe Tips
- Choose strawberries that are long and narrow or gradually get fatter at the tops so they look like real carrots.
- Choose strawberries with plentiful green stems.
- Reheat the candy melt if it begins to harden before you finish covering all strawberries.
