Chocolate covered strawberries are one of our favorite desserts. Lucky for us they are a easy to make with little fuss or clean up! When deciding what delicious treats we wanted to include in our Mr. McGregor’s Garden of Sweets, we just knew we had to include them but decided to give them a little twist! Find out how we turned this fabulous fruit into the perfect veggie for our delicious dessert garden!
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the orange candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and heat in 45 second increments. Stir the chocolate after each time it is heated until fully melted.
Holding a strawberry by the cap, dip it into the melted chocolate. Try to have the chocolate reach as close to the cap as possible and make sure to move the strawberry within the chocolate so that all sides are fully covered. Once covered, place each strawberry on the lined baking sheet.
Place the chocolate covered strawberries into the refrigerator for 5 minutes or until the chocolate has hardened.
Place a few tablespoons of extra orange melted chocolate into a quart size Ziploc bag and snip the corner so it can be used as a piping bag. Remove the strawberries from the refrigerator. Take your orange chocolate and drizzle it across each of the strawberries creating horizontal lines.
While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the orange sanding sugar over top for a pretty detail.
Place the strawberries back into the refrigerator for a few minutes until the fresh chocolate drizzle has hardened. Remove and enjoy!
