Do you love patriotic chocolate covered strawberries? Strawberries are one of my son’s favorite fruits to snack on during the summer months. Our summer has been super lax because of Covid-19 keeping us at home.

Normally, we typically spend several hours a week at the swimming pool. But my daughter bought a small swimming pool for her dog and poor Bella wants nothing to do with it. Bella prefers going swimming in the lake. So one afternoon she set up the swimming pool for my son, got water balloons, and squirt guns. They had a blast playing some fun water games and I decided to make them chocolate covered strawberries.

I had been planning on making these before the 4th of July but it didn’t happen. Then I remembered that there are several patriotic holidays throughout the year and these Chocolate Covered Strawberries would be a hit for Memorial day, 4th of July, and Labor day.

The chocolate covered strawberries were a huge hit and disappeared very quickly. My son came inside and helped me decorate them too. The covered strawberries were a fun treat but I was planning on having these made before the 4th of July.

  1. I haven’t made the patriotic version for 4th of July, but I have made them for Halloween with orange and black sprinkles. They’re a real treat!

  2. The strawberries look so delicious and festive! I’ve never tried Candiquik before but I will definitely give it a try as I don’t have much luck melting chocolate (dries out, etc).
