Ingredients
- 20 fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried
- 1 cup dark or semisweet chocolate chips (or melting wafers)
- 1 cup white chocolate chips (or melting wafers)
- 40 candy eyes
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
Instructions
1. Make sure your strawberries are completely dry before starting. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from properly adhering to the fruit.
2. In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate chips. If desired, stir in a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening for a smoother, more drizzle-friendly consistency.
3. Holding the strawberries by the stem, dip them into the melted dark chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Place the coated strawberries on a parchment-lined baking tray.
4. Before the chocolate sets, carefully attach two candy eyes to each Halloween Strawberry for a spooky, googly-eyed effect.
5. Use a spoon or a piping bag to drizzle the melted white chocolate over the dark chocolate-coated strawberries, creating a fun and festive design.
6. Place the tray of Halloween Strawberries in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes, allowing the chocolate to fully set and harden.
7. Your delightful Halloween Strawberries are now ready to be enjoyed! Serve them at your spooky celebrations or as a tasty treat for any autumn gathering.
Notes
Choose fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and texture.
Use high-quality chocolate for a smooth, glossy finish.
Get creative with alternative decorations, such as sprinkles, crushed cookies, or edible glitter.
Store the Halloween Strawberries in the refrigerator until ready to serve for the best presentation.
