How to Make Easter Bunny & Carrot Strawberries
1. Prepare the Strawberries
- Wash and completely dry the strawberries using a paper towel.
- Moisture prevents the chocolate from sticking, so make sure they are dry before dipping!
💡 Tip: Leave the green stems on for easy dipping.
2. Melt the White Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add:
✔ White chocolate chips
✔ 1 tablespoon vegetable oil - Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is smooth and melted.
💡 Tip: If the chocolate is too thick, add 1 teaspoon more vegetable oil for a smoother consistency.
3. Dip the Strawberries
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate.
- Let excess chocolate drip off before placing it on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
💡 Tip: If you want extra thick chocolate coverage, dip the strawberries twice, letting the first layer set before dipping again.
4. Create the Carrot Strawberries
- Melt orange candy melts in a small bowl using the same microwave method.
- Dip the bottom half of some white chocolate-covered strawberries into the orange candy melts to create a carrot look.
- Let excess drip off and place back on parchment paper.
5. Add Green Leaves
- Melt green candy melts and drizzle over the carrot tops to create leaves.
- You can also dip the very top of the strawberries in the green chocolate for a leafy effect.
6. Make Bunny Faces (Optional)
- To create Easter bunnies, place edible eyes onto the white chocolate-covered strawberries while the chocolate is still wet.
- Use a small pink candy melt dot or pink sprinkle for the bunny’s nose.
- Let the bunnies set completely.
💡 Tip: You can use a piping bag with melted chocolate to draw little whiskers or bunny ears!
7. Chill the Strawberries
- Place the decorated strawberries in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to harden completely.
8. Serve & Enjoy!
- Arrange on a festive Easter platter, in Easter baskets, or on a dessert table!
💡 Tip: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
Pro Tips for the Best Easter Strawberries
✔ Dry Strawberries Completely – Wet strawberries cause the chocolate to seize and slide off.
✔ Use High-Quality Chocolate – Melting wafers or high-quality chips give the best results.
✔ Chill Between Layers – Let the first chocolate layer set before adding more decorations for clean lines.
✔ Decorate Quickly – Chocolate sets fast, so add sprinkles or candy eyes immediately!

🥕 Extra Realistic Carrot Strawberries – Add textured lines with a fork before the orange chocolate sets.
