Ingredients
  

  • 12 large fresh strawberries Washed and thoroughly dried
  • 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers Such as Ghirardelli or candy melts
  • 1 teaspoon oil-based orange food coloring Adjust to desired color
  • 12 mini chocolate chips For decoration
  • 15 Oreo cookies For the edible dirt

Equipment

  • 1 Microwave-safe Bowl
  • 1 Baking sheet Lined with parchment paper
  • 1 Food processor Optional, for crushing cookies

Instructions
 

  1. Wash strawberries and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize. Set aside.
  2. In a food processor or a sealed bag with a rolling pin, crush the Oreo cookies until they resemble fine crumbs. Spread the crumbs on your serving platter.
  3. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
  4. Add the oil-based orange food coloring to the melted white chocolate. Stir until the color is uniform and vibrant.
  5. Holding a strawberry by its green leaves, dip it into the orange chocolate, coating it completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
  6. Place the dipped strawberry on the Oreo dirt. While the chocolate is still wet, place a mini chocolate chip at the base of the leaves for a stem. Repeat for all strawberries.
  7. Allow the Pumpkin Patch Strawberries to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping for the best results.
Use only oil-based food coloring to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
