Fresh strawberries dipped in rich dark chocolate, decorated with white chocolate drizzles and candy eyes, create a playful treat that’s both visually striking and irresistibly tasty.

Ingredients

Scale

Fruits

  • 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried thoroughly

Chocolate

  • 8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped or use dark chocolate chips
  • 2 ounces white chocolate, chopped or use white chocolate chips

Decorations & Others

  • Candy eyes, small or medium size (available at baking supply stores)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
  • Wax or parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Ensure the strawberries are completely dry after washing since any moisture can cause the chocolate to seize and not coat properly.
  2. Line Baking Sheet: Lay wax or parchment paper on a baking sheet to prevent the chocolate-coated strawberries from sticking once placed.
  3. Melt Dark Chocolate: Combine the dark chocolate and coconut oil (if using) in a heatproof bowl, then melt using a double boiler or microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth and fully melted.
  4. Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by its green stem and dip it into the melted dark chocolate, coating about two-thirds of the berry. Let the excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl.
  5. Place on Baking Sheet: Set the chocolate-coated strawberries on the lined baking sheet. Repeat the dipping process for all strawberries.
  6. Melt White Chocolate: Use the same melting method for the white chocolate as you did for the dark chocolate to get a smooth melt.
  7. Decorate with White Chocolate: Using a small spoon or piping bag, drizzle white chocolate over the dark-coated strawberries to create mummy-like or other spooky patterns.
  8. Add Candy Eyes: While the white chocolate is still wet, stick two candy eyes on each strawberry to give them a spooky, fun appearance.
  9. Chill to Set: Transfer the decorated strawberries to the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden completely.
  10. Serve or Store: Serve the spooky strawberries chilled, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 48 hours to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • Make sure strawberries are dried thoroughly to ensure chocolate coats smoothly.
  • Use high-quality chocolate for better taste and smoother texture.
  • Coconut oil is optional but helps the chocolate dip glide easily and set with a shiny finish.
  • Candy eyes are available at most baking or craft stores around Halloween.
  • Store strawberries in the refrigerator and consume within 48 hours for optimal freshness.
  • Customize designs by changing the white chocolate drizzle patterns or using colored candy decorations.
