Strawberry Ladybugs
Strawberry ladybugs are a fun and easy snack for kids that they will want all summer long. Four ingredients and 20 minutes are all you need to make the perfect picnic food art.
Servings: 4 servings
Equipment
- 1 piping bag
Ingredients
- 1 pint Naturipe® Strawberries rinsed and fully dried
- 1 pint Naturipe® Blueberries rinsed and fully dried
- 1 bag Melting Chocolate melted
- 2 Tbsp Chocolate Sprinkles optional for legs
Instructions
- Cut each strawberry in half lengthwise then remove the green caps of the strawberries by cutting a triangle at the top. This is where the blueberry head will go.
- Melt the chocolate, and pour it into a piping bag.
- Squeeze some chocolate onto a blueberry and attach it to the triangle cut out on top of the starwberry.
- Pipe the middle line down the middle of the strawberry to create the ladybug back and add the black dots.
- Dip the chocolate sprinkles in the melted chocolate (or lines of the melted chocolate) and attach them to the strawberry as the legs.
- Repeat with each strawberry until you've run out. Have fun!
Notes
- Microwave your chocolate in 30-second increments, stirring in between for a quick melting process.
- If you don’t have a piping bag, use a plastic Ziplock bag. Cut a tiny piece off one of the corners to pipe thin lines. Squeeze the melted chocolate down to the corner and start decorating your strawberry ladybugs.
- Want to skip the sprinkles? Pipe your legs with melted chocolate. It’s messy but just as fun (and will taste even better).
