This post contains affiliate links to make shopping easier for you. If you decide to buy after reading my rave reviews, I would love for you to use these links. I have a terrible sweet tooth. There, I said it! I know I need to eat more vegetables, but sometimes it is hard to get them into my diet. I was hoping these super cute Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Carrots would count towards my daily vegetable allotment?! Ok, I know they won’t, but how stinking cute are these? We like to make them for the kids teachers as well as for the kid’s Easter baskets.
Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Carrots
You will need:

- One tsp canola oil

You will need wax or parchment paper or a silicone baking mat (which I prefer.) I use the silicone baking mats from Pickles and Tomatoes. Trust me, these make your life so much easier and they are reusable, so they are better for the planet too! Place the mat on top of a cookie or baking sheet.
Directions:
- Pour your candy melts and canola oil into a glass bowl and melt in the microwave on 50% power for 30 seconds. Stir and repeat until completely melted and smooth.
- Holding you strawberry by the green part, dip into the bowl until completely covered. Shake off excess.
- Transfer to baking mat or wax paper.
- Add remaining melted candy in a piping bag or large Ziploc bag with the corner cut. Drizzle in a crisscross pattern and refrigerate until melted candy is hardened.
