Halloween Chocolate Strawberries (Printer-Friendly)

Spooky chocolate-coated strawberries with ghost, pumpkin, and mummy designs add festive flair to any Halloween gathering.

# List of Ingredients:

→ Fruit

01 - 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried

→ Chocolate and Candy Coatings

02 - 8 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts
03 - 8 ounces milk or dark chocolate
04 - 4 ounces orange candy melts

→ Additives and Decorations

05 - 2 teaspoons coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
06 - Candy eyes (store-bought)
07 - Black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate (for faces)

→ Tools

08 - Small piping bags or zip-top bags

# Preparation Steps:

01 - Wash strawberries and pat completely dry with paper towels to ensure chocolate adheres properly.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to place dipped strawberries on.
03 - Melt white chocolate, milk or dark chocolate, and orange candy melts individually in microwave-safe bowls using 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil to each for a silkier texture, if using.
04 - Dip one-third of the strawberries in white chocolate for ghosts, one-third in orange candy melts for pumpkins, and the remaining in milk or dark chocolate for mummies. Place dipped strawberries onto the parchment-lined tray.
05 - While white chocolate is still wet, press candy eyes onto the strawberries and use black decorating gel or melted chocolate to pipe spooky mouths.
06 - After coating in orange candy melts, use a toothpick to create vertical ridges resembling pumpkin ribs. Attach a small green icing leaf near the stem area for added realism.
07 - Once the milk or dark chocolate coating has set, drizzle thin lines of extra white chocolate over the strawberries to mimic mummy bandages. Press candy eyes between the drizzles.
08 - Place decorated strawberries in the refrigerator for 15 minutes or until coatings are firm.
09 - Arrange chilled strawberries on a platter and present for your festive gathering.

# Additional Suggestions:

01 - Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing or slipping off.
