Fruit Love Bugs

These cute little love bugs are perfect for Valentine’s Day! A healthy cute treat that the kids will love and they are super easy to make!

I seriously had a ton of fun making these a few years ago and it was time for some updated photos that really show off how stinkin cute these little fruit bugs are! They are the perfect Valentine’s day treat for the kids!

I may have also gone a little bit overboard with photos in this post because I had a very hard time picking out my favorites, so bare with me on the photo overload. 🙂

Having fun with holidays is one of the things I look forward to most when it comes to any holiday. I like to celebrate them all and make them fun for the kids.

For Valentine’s Day we always start out with a fun Valentine’s Day breakfast, then a fun Valentine’s day lunch and then you guessed it, a Valentine’s Day themed dinner.

Yes, I know most people look at Valentine’s Day as a holiday for couples, but I love holidays and I love making them fun for my kids no matter what the holiday is.

Tips for Making this Valentine’s Day Kid’s Recipe

I was able to find the heart shaped sprinkles in Target’s dollar section. 

You want to make sure your strawberries are very dry or the chocolate will not stick to them.

Use a double boiler to melt the chocolate or the microwave.

Fruit Love Bugs Ingredients

• 8 Strawberries
• 8 Raspberries
• 1/2 cup dark chocolate melting chocolate
• Heart sprinkles
• Pearl sprinkles

Fruit Love Bugs Directions

Clean and dry your fruit very well. Slice your strawberry in half and remove the stem.

Place them cut side down on a sheet pan.

Melt your chocolate and shortening 30 seconds at a time in the microwave, making sure your stir in-between.

Pour chocolate into a small freezer ziptop bag and seal it or use a pastry bag.

If using a freezer bag, cut a very small piece of one of the corners of the bag to make your pastry bag.

Add a small amount of chocolate to the stem end of the strawberry than add a raspberry to it.

Pipe a thin line down the top of the strawberry.

Dot very small dots of chocolate to the top of the strawberries. While the chocolate is wet top each dot with the heart sprinkles.

Add two dots of chocolate to the top of the raspberry than add the pearl sprinkles to it.

Add a dot of chocolate to the top of each sprinkle for the eye balls.

Add one dot of chocolate under the eyes and add a heart sprinkle for its mouth.
