Halloween Strawberries
Halloween Strawberries transform juicy berries into playful mummy treats with rich chocolate and spooky charm, perfect for Halloween parties or festive gatherings with minimal effort. This simple recipe delivers spooky chocolate treats that are quick to make and sure to delight.
Ingredients
- 12 large fresh strawberries about 300g
- 1 cup 175g dark or semisweet chocolate chips
- ½ cup 90g white chocolate chips
- 1 tsp 5ml coconut oil (optional)
- 24 small candy eyes
- Substitution: Use milk chocolate for dark; melted white chocolate bars for chips.
Instructions
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.
Set and Serve
- I let the strawberries set for 10 minutes at room temperature, then serve on a platter for these spooky chocolate treats.
Notes
For best results, prepare the strawberries on the day they will be served, as condensation can affect the chocolate coating if stored for too long.
