Ingredients
  

Spooky Strawberry Ingredients
  • 1 lb Fresh Strawberries Large with green stems
  • 12 oz White Chocolate Melting Wafers Premium quality
  • 4 oz Dark Chocolate Chips For facial details
  • 1 tbsp Coconut Oil Divided for thinning chocolate
  • 2 drops Orange Oil-Based Food Coloring Must be oil-based
  • 24 pieces Black Candy Eyeball Sprinkles For the mummies

Equipment

  • 3 Microwave-safe glass bowls For melting three colors of chocolate.
  • 1 Parchment Paper To prevent sticking.
  • 2 Piping bags Or zip-top bags for precision detailing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Wash strawberries thoroughly and dry each one by hand. Allow to air dry for 30 minutes to ensure no moisture remains.
  2. Melt white chocolate in 30-second increments in the microwave. Stir in coconut oil until glossy and smooth.
Dipping & Decorating
  1. Dip strawberries into white or orange-tinted chocolate. Place on parchment paper and let set until matte.
  2. Drizzle white chocolate in zig-zags over a white-dipped berry. Place two candy eyes in the gaps while wet.
  3. Use a piping bag with dark chocolate to create three ovals for ghosts or triangles and jagged mouths for pumpkins.

Notes

Ensure berries are room temperature before dipping.
Always use oil-based coloring to prevent chocolate from seizing.
