Ingredients
- 1 lb fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried
- 8 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
- 8 oz milk or dark chocolate
- 4 oz orange candy melts
- 2 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
- Candy eyes (store-bought)
- Black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate (for faces)
- Small piping bags or zip-top bags
Instructions
- Wash strawberries and pat completely dry with paper towels — chocolate won’t stick if they’re damp.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Melt white chocolate, milk chocolate, and orange candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls (30-second intervals, stirring until smooth). Add 1/2 tsp coconut oil to each for a silky finish.
- Dip one-third of the strawberries in white chocolate (for ghosts), one-third in orange candy melts (for pumpkins), and the remaining in milk/dark chocolate (for mummies). Place on parchment-lined tray.
- For ghosts: While still wet, press on candy eyes and use black gel or melted chocolate to pipe spooky mouths.
- For pumpkins: After coating, use a toothpick to create ridges. Add a small green icing leaf near the stem for realism.
- For mummies: Once the base coat sets, drizzle extra white chocolate in thin lines across the strawberry. Press on candy eyes in between drizzles.
- Chill in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until set.
- Serve on a platter for your Halloween spread.
