Directions for Halloween Strawberries

Let’s create these spooky chocolate treats!

Prep Strawberries

I gently wash 12 strawberries and pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels, letting them air-dry to prevent chocolate seizing for these Halloween Strawberries.

Melt Dark Chocolate

I melt 1 cup dark chocolate chips with ½ tsp coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth for these festive berry desserts.

Dip Strawberries

I dip each strawberry three-quarters into the dark chocolate, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and press 2 candy eyes onto each while warm for these spooky chocolate treats.

Melt White Chocolate

I melt ½ cup white chocolate chips with ½ tsp coconut oil in a clean bowl in 20-second bursts, stirring until smooth for this simple recipe.

Drizzle Mummies

I pour white chocolate into a piping bag or zip-top bag with a corner snipped, drizzling back and forth over the strawberries to create mummy bandages, avoiding the eyes for these Halloween-themed sweets.

I let the strawberries set for 10 minutes at room temperature, then serve on a platter for these spooky chocolate treats.
