Ingredients
- 1 lb Strawberries
- 8 oz Orange Candy Melting Chips
- Orange Sparkling Sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Gently fluff the stems of the strawberries upward.
- Freeze the strawberries for 10-15 minutes.
- Melt the orange candy melting chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
- Prepare a piece of wax or parchment paper to place the dipped strawberries.
- Using a spoon, spread the melted chocolate around the top near the stem.
- Hold the strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating the fruit.
- Optionally, sprinkle with orange sparkling sugar for extra texture.
- Place the strawberries on parchment paper and allow them to chill in the freezer for a few minutes to set the chocolate.
Notes
- You can substitute with different colored candy melts, but the “carrot” look will be lost.
- For extra festive flair, drizzle green melted candy melts for leaves or sprinkle with mini chocolate chips.
- If you make these ahead of time, store them in the fridge for up to 2 days, or freeze them for up to 2 weeks.
