We seriously love the Minions in our house. I surprised my kids with these Minion strawberries the other day and they almost flipped their lids. They could not have been easier to make and they are oh so cute.
Minion Strawberries
Here’s what you need:
- Fresh Strawberries
- Black, Yellow and Blue Candy Melts (you can also used white chocolate that you color with food dye)
- Candy Eyeballs
- Candy Melts E-Z Thin (you can also use Crisco)
- Candy Melts Decorating Tips
- Decorating Bags or Ziploc Bags
Here’s what you do:
1. Wash your strawberries, set them on a paper towel and allow them to dry completely.
2. Pour the yellow candy melts into a small measuring cup or bowl. Follow the directions on the package directions for melting your chocolate. Use E-Z Thin to thin out the candy melts or a little bit of Crisco, but just add a small amount at a time because you want your candy melts to be a consistency that you can dip your strawberries into.
3. Dip the majority of the strawberry into the yellow candy melts. Pull the strawberry out of the melted candy and allow some of the excess to drip off. Place the strawberry on a wire cooling rack. After the excess has dripped off, move to a sheet of wax paper to dry.
4. While your strawberries dry, repeat step 2 with the blue candy melts.
5. Dip the tip of your strawberry into the blue candy melts. Pull the strawberry out of the candy melts and allow some of the excess to drip off. Place the strawberry on a wire cooling rack. After the excess has dripped off, move to a sheet of wax paper to dry.
6. Repeat step 2 with the black candy melts.
7. Pour the black candy melts into a decorating bag or ziploc bag with the smallest candy melts decorating tip attached. Pipe black lines onto your Minion.
8. If you would like to add gray to the goggles, you’ll need to add white candy melts to another batch of black candy melts and prepare a second decorating bag.
9. Pipe circles of black (or gray if you make a batch) onto the black lines. While the candy melts are still wet, add the candy eyes.
10. Pipe on some fun faces with the black candy melts and add buttons onto their overalls. You could also add some hair! Have fun with these and let your little ones help.
I love how my minion strawberries came out. They were wicked easy and a definite hit with my kiddos.
Enjoy!
These are super adorable! I love them. We will have to try them out in our home, as we love the Minions here too.
OMG these are absolutely adorable. I love them!!
Those are so cute! Chocolate covered strawberries are so yummy, and these are an adorable version.
I have to make these with the kids! They are super cute. You did a great job on these.
Omg!! These looks super easy and yummy!! I can’t wait to try them. Thanks for sharing this!!
Very creative! I’ve never seen anyone do this before. Looks like a fun way to eat strawberries.
So cute and creative! I love the idea of being crafty with food,how fun!
These are the best! And delicious. I’ll be making these with my kids. We can’t wait for Despicable Me 3.
Oh my gosh I love these! So clever and not something I ever would have thought of! My nieces and nephews would absolutely love some of theme (and lets face it me too!)
These are adorable! I never would have thought to make something like this.
These are almost too adorable to eat! This would be super cute for kid’s party party. Super creative! <3
I’m made Minion cupcakes, but I’ve never made Minion strawberries. These are adorable and the kids will love them. It’s such a cute idea.
These look too adorable to eat, haha!! My girls would love making these. Thanks for sharing x
The strawberry Minions are definitely cuteness overload. Now how can I eat something as cute as this.
So cute! I’m such a sucker for anything themed with Minions or Despicable Me so there are perfect!
These are adorable and make me want to order candy melts right away. I can’t get them here. 🙁 You did a wicked good job with this!
Those are really cute. I’ll have to share this with my sister. My nephew loves the Minions.
They do look great but I wouldnt mix fruit with sugar. A quick way to damage teeth. But love the Minions so can see the appeal for kids
These are the cutest strawberries! They would make an awesome addition to a Minion themed party or just to have for a little fun snack!
This is great! Wish I would’ve known about this when I did my son’s Despicable Three birthday party. Will be saving the link for future reference 😉
Say what? These minions are too adorable and they are easy to make too! I bet my students would love a treat like this before the school ends! So cute!!!
This is too cute to eat! And also fun to make! My daughter will enjoy making this with me! Thanks for the detailed instructions!!!
These minion strawberries are the cutest! I see them as a much more fun way to decorate strawberries than just dipping them in chocolate. However, I will always be weak toward chocolate strawberries!
Much love,

Oh my goodness these are precious! I know they taste as good as they look. But I would hate to eat them because they are so cute!
Oh my gosh these are adorable! I have a friend that loves all things Minions, these would be a perfect gift for her or a treat for her!
Oh what a clever treat. The hair is so perfect! These will be fun to snack on while rewatching the Despicable Me movies.

Wilton Candy Melts are great for candy making. They really help you create such cute little minions.

These are the coolest strawberries I’ve ever seen. Who needs plain chocolate dipped ones when they can be minion ones. You did an amazing job and glad your kids like it. Maybe if you turn their vegetables into minions they will eat them too I know I would when I was a kids.
This is so cool! My niece is a big minion fan and she’ll absolutely love this.
Awesome! These are so creative! Perfect for a birthday party!
This is a really cute idea! Such a fun snack for kids!
These Minion Strawberries are adorable. I am going to have to make these for the kids for sure. I love the Minions as much as they do. Thanks for sharing the recipe.
These really are super cute! Who doesn’t love the Minions? I think I would go the white chocolate and food dye route over the candy melts just because I love white chocolate.
Well, first of all, I love chocolate strawberries so you had me right away! I love the themed with Minons. They are so adorable and easy!
Oh my gosh – those are so dang cute! They turned out great girl! Our kids would definitely love these.

What an amazing idea! All three of my kids are Minion fans, so this snack is sure to make them smile.
I totally want to try to make these! My niece would love them (and so would I!)
These are so cute! My little guy would love making (and eating these) I will have to show him and see what he thinks!
How cute are these!? My son would LOVE these and hopefully it would motivate him to eat some fruit!

Oh these are really cute. My kids would love them. I would love to eat them.
My kids really love minions and we find ourselves watching it at least once a week! They would love these! Strawberries are their favorite so this would be so much fun to make with them 🙂
They turned out so cute! We are growing strawberries, but they are too little for that. I’d have to buy some.
What a cute and creative idea! Seems like they’d be great for a kid’s birthday party. And slightly healthier than cake or cupcakes 🙂
