Ingredients
Scale
Basic Chocolate Coating
- 6 ounces (170 g) white chocolate, chopped into small pieces or baking chips
- 6 ounces (170 g) chocolate (dark, milk, semi-sweet or white), chopped into small pieces or baking chips
Strawberries
- 12 medium to large strawberries
Decorations
- 24 candy eyeballs
- 12 chocolate chips or chocolate callets
- Halloween sprinkles
- Green sanding sugar sprinkles
- Orange sanding sugar or sparkling sugar sprinkles
Optional
- Extra candy eyeballs and chocolate chips for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere properly.
- Melt Chocolate: Set aside a small handful of the chopped chocolate. Place the remaining chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan with 1 inch of barely simmering water, making sure the water does not touch the bowl’s bottom. Stir constantly until the chocolate is melted and smooth. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved chocolate pieces until fully melted and the mixture is shiny and smooth.
- Dip Strawberries: Hold a strawberry by the leaves as a handle, dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Gently scrape the bottom of the strawberry on the bowl’s rim to remove drips.
- Decorate Strawberries: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Decorate immediately with candy eyeballs, chocolate chips, and a variety of sprinkles, depending on the Halloween theme desired. Repeat this process for all strawberries.
- Set Chocolate: Allow the dipped and decorated strawberries to sit at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is fully set before serving.

- Make sure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to ensure the chocolate sticks well.
- Use high-quality chocolate for best flavor and texture.
- Customize decorations with different types and colors of sprinkles to create spooky or festive variations.
- Store strawberries in a cool place and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
