Halloween Chocolate Strawberries Treat (Ready-to-Print Version)

Spooky chocolate-coated strawberries perfect for Halloween parties and festive gatherings.

# What You’ll Need:

→ Fruits

01 - 1 lb fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried

→ Chocolate & Candy

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

→ Additives

05 - 2 tsp coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)

→ Decorations

06 - Candy eyes (store-bought)
07 - Black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate (for facial details)

→ Tools

08 - Small piping bags or zip-top bags

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Wash strawberries and pat completely dry with paper towels to ensure chocolate adheres properly.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during chocolate setting.
03 - Melt white chocolate, milk or dark chocolate, and orange candy melts separately in microwave-safe bowls using 30-second intervals. Stir each until smooth, adding 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening per bowl for a silky texture if desired.
04 - Divide strawberries into three equal groups. Dip one-third in white chocolate for ghosts, one-third in orange candy melts for pumpkins, and the remaining in milk or dark chocolate for mummies. Place coated strawberries on the parchment-lined tray.
05 - While the white chocolate coating is still wet, press on candy eyes and use black decorating gel or melted dark chocolate to pipe spooky mouths.
06 - After orange candy melt coating sets, use a toothpick to create ridges resembling pumpkin grooves. Add a small green icing leaf near the stem to enhance realism.
07 - Once the milk or dark chocolate base coat has set, drizzle extra melted white chocolate in thin lines across strawberries to mimic bandages. Press candy eyes between drizzles for mummy faces.
08 - Refrigerate the tray for 15 minutes to allow chocolate to firm properly.
09 - Arrange cooled chocolate-covered strawberries on a platter and serve as a festive Halloween treat.

# Handy Tips:

01 - Ensure strawberries are completely dry to achieve a smooth chocolate coating.
02 - Adding coconut oil or vegetable shortening helps create a silky, glossy finish on melted chocolate.
