It’s hard to resist a strawberry dipped in chocolate. These cute strawberries disguised as ladybugs are even harder to resist. Add some Raspberry flowers to your ladybug display for a sweet, and delicious summertime dessert.
Strawberry Ladybugs and Raspberry Flowers
Are you looking for cute fruit ideas for the kids? Try some of my other food craft ideas, like…
Here’s What You’ll Need to Make these fun food crafts…
- Strawberries – rinsed
- Dried mini marshmallows – the kind you find in hot cocoa boxes
- Raspberries – rinsed
- Blueberries, and Blackberries – rinsed
- Recommended: Cake or cupcakes with frosting
- Try to get better-looking strawberries than these. It’s all I had to work with. I do believe it’s strawberry picking season. Maybe, you’ll get some beauties!
- Whatever you have, try to find the ones that have a rounded tip
- Rinse, and cut the stems off
- Cut a V in the portion that had the stem
- Melt some chocolate melts. I like to use the Wilton Chocolate Melts. They melt so nice and smooth
- I also had my dried marshmallows ready to go
- Dip the pointed end of the strawberries into the melted chocolate
- Set them down to dry
- Quick…before they dry place your marshmallows into the chocolate for the eyes
- Let dry – It will only take a few minutes
- Grab a baggie, and fill one corner with melted chocolate
- Snip a little bit off of the tip
- Using your bag of chocolate, squeeze out little dots onto the strawberry, and marshmallows
- Let that dry
- Arrange Raspberry flowers with 5 Raspberries per flower, and blueberry, or blackberry in the center as the picture shows
- Set your ladybugs down around the flowers
