I love trying out Pinterest-type crafts and recipes, but they never seem to turn out the same. Probably just a sign that I'll never be a Martha Stewart.

These strawberries dipped in chocolate are supposed to look like carrots. But I couldn't find orange wafers at Bulk Barn, so just decided to mix red and yellow....which makes pink, apparently.

Instructions:

Melt chocolate: we use a stainless steel bowl inside a pot of hot water, as I don't own a double boiler
dip strawberries into melted chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment paper
Use a spoon to drizzle extra chocolate over the top
Ask your kids what they look like, and try not to cry when they say "flowers!"

The good news is that they taste egg-cellent!

Happy Easter from one #Pinterestfail Mom to another.
