  • Total Time: 20 minutes (plus setting time)
  • Yield: 12 strawberries 1x

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 lb large, fresh strawberries (about 12), rinsed and thoroughly dried

  • 1 cup (6 oz) high-quality semi-sweet chocolate chips or dark chocolate melting wafers

  • 1 cup (6 oz) white chocolate chips or white candy melting wafers

  • Optional for decorating: Orange candy melts, black candy melts, candy eyes, slivered almonds, edible food marker

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Ensure strawberries are completely dry. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  2. Melt Chocolate: In separate microwave-safe bowls, melt the dark chocolate and white chocolate. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring vigorously between each interval, until smooth and fully melted.

  3. Dip Strawberries: Hold a strawberry by the stem or spear with a toothpick. Dip it into the melted chocolate, swirling to coat evenly. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.

  4. Decorate: For ghost strawberries, dip in white chocolate and immediately place two small dark chocolate chips for eyes. For mummies, dip in dark chocolate, let set, then drizzle with white chocolate in a bandage pattern and add candy eyes. For monster claws, dip in red-tinted chocolate (mix with a drop of oil-based food coloring) and press a slivered almond into the tip while wet.

  5. Set: Place finished strawberries on the parchment-lined tray. Allow them to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for 15-20 minutes to speed up the process.

Notes

  • Dry Berries are Key: Any moisture will cause the chocolate to seize and become clumpy.

  • Tempering Shortcut: For a glossy, professional-looking shell, ensure you don’t overheat the chocolate. Melting slowly and stirring well is the secret.

  • Storage: Store finished strawberries in a single layer in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. They are best served the same day they are made.
