Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly to ensure the chocolate adheres well. Leave the green leafy tops on for decoration and easy handling.
- Melt Chocolate: Using a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the white or dark chocolate chips until smooth. Stir frequently to avoid burning.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the green top and dip it into the melted chocolate, covering it well. Allow excess chocolate to drip off for an even coating.
- Decorate Ghost Strawberries: For ghost shapes, dip strawberries in white chocolate, then place candy eyeballs on while chocolate is still wet. Use chocolate chips or callets for the mouth by strategically placing them with a toothpick or small utensil.
- Decorate Mummy Strawberries: Dip strawberries in white chocolate, then drizzle additional melted white chocolate in thin lines over the surface to emulate bandages. Add candy eyeballs before the drizzle sets.
- Decorate Halloween Sprinkle Strawberries: Dip strawberries in chosen melted chocolate, then immediately sprinkle Halloween-themed sprinkles over the wet chocolate to adhere.
- Decorate Zombie Strawberries: Dip strawberries in white chocolate, immediately coat with green sanding sugar, and add candy eyeballs while still wet.
- Decorate Halloween Pumpkin Strawberries: Dip strawberries in white chocolate, sprinkle orange sanding sugar or sparkling sugar over the wet chocolate for pumpkin effect. Optionally, add candy eyeballs and chocolate chips for face details.
- Set the Chocolate: Place all decorated strawberries on parchment paper or a silicone mat and refrigerate for about 15-20 minutes or until chocolate sets completely.
- Serve: Arrange the strawberries on a festive platter and enjoy your spooky and sweet Halloween treats!
Notes
- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from seizing.
- Use high-quality chocolate for better taste and glossy coating.
- You can substitute candy eyeballs with edible markers to draw eyes if unavailable.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for freshness.
- For a variation, add crushed nuts or cookie crumbs to the dipping chocolate before coating the strawberries.
