Instructions

Chocolate Covered Strawberries

  • Rinse and dry your strawberries and add chocolate melting wafers to two separate microwave-safe bowls.
    ½ cup dark chocolate melting wafers, ½ cup white chocolate melting wafers, 16 ounces fresh strawberries, rinsed and dry
  • One at a time, melt the white chocolate and dark chocolate in the microwave. Start with 30 seconds and stir. If need be, continue to heat in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted.
  • Holding the strawberries at the very top by the stems, carefully dunk the strawberries in the melted chocolate, rotating slowly to ensure it is fully coated. Cover about 1/3 of the strawberries in dark chocolate and the rest in white chocolate, and line them up on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a reusable baking mat.

Decoration—Prep

  • Allow the chocolate-covered strawberries to set for about 10 minutes before adding your Halloween decorations.
  • Once your chocolate is set on the strawberries, check your bowls of melted chocolate to see if it's starting to thicken. If so, microwave again for about 15 seconds to loosen.
  • Transfer the remaining white chocolate to a piping bag. Grab a toothpick to decorate with melted dark chocolate. Allow the decorated strawberries to set completely before enjoying (about 10 minutes).

Decoration—Mummies

  • Half of the white chocolate-covered strawberries can be used to make little Halloween mummies. Use the piping bag to drizzle horizontal white chocolate lines over the top of the white chocolate-covered strawberries to resemble the mummies wraps.
  • Allow the white chocolate lines to set completely before using a toothpick dipped in dark chocolate to draw on two little eyes. (Scroll up for detailed decorating instructions with images.)

Decoration—Skeletons

  • The remaining white chocolate strawberries will be used to make a skeleton design. Keep the surface smooth, and draw on the eyes, nose, and face with a toothpick dipped in dark chocolate.

Decoration—Spiderwebs

  • Use the dark chocolate-covered strawberries as your canvas and use the piping bag or a toothpick to draw on your spiderweb design.

Notes

  • If you don't have a piping bag, you can easily use a Ziploc bag. Just cut about 1 mm off of one of the corners.
  • If you would like to use chocolate chips instead of melting wafers, it's best to temper them first. For detailed directions on how to temper chocolate, check out my recipe for Bailey's Hot Chocolate Bombs.
