Extra tips for making carrot chocolate covered strawberries:
- Be sure to line the sheet pan with parchment paper to avoid any sticking!
- Follow the directions on your bag of candy melts and be careful not to overheat them to avoid clumps. A fast fix is to add a touch of coconut or vegetable oil to smooth.
- In the photos, I showed 3 ways to serve your strawberries! Consider adding them to a plate on top of some chocolate chips or sprinkles. A basket of these carrots would be cute! Also, you can add one to a chocolate pudding cup. Add crushed cookies to the top as “dirt”. So fun!
- These will last a couple of days, best stored in the fridge. You can make these, maybe a day ahead of time, in my opinion!
What a wonderful treat to include for Easter or Spring this year!
Honestly, this was so fun to make. The kids can get involved and help too as an activity. My teen daughter brought some of these to her friends in her lunch the next day and loved it!
