Jump to RecipeBefore you begin, make sure the strawberries are completely dry. Any excess water can cause the chocolate to seize and not adhere properly. For best results, refrigerate the strawberries for about an hour before dipping them in chocolate.
1. Begin by melting the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until completely melted. Once melted, add a few drops of orange food coloring to achieve a vibrant orange color.
2. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover about ¾ of the strawberry. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let them cool in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
3. While the strawberries are cooling, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Once melted, transfer the chocolate into a plastic piping bag and cut a small hole at the end.
4. Take the cooled strawberries out of the refrigerator and use the piping bag to create spooky designs such as spider webs, ghosts, or bats on top of the orange chocolate. You can also use a toothpick to create more intricate designs.
5. Let the chocolate set in the refrigerator for another 10 minutes or until hardened.
6. Once the chocolate designs have hardened, carefully peel the strawberries off the parchment paper and place them on a serving platter lined with wax paper.
7. Serve and enjoy your spooky and delicious Halloween chocolate covered strawberries!
These treats are not only a fun and creative addition to any Halloween party, but they also make great gifts for friends and neighbors. You can even get the kids involved in the decorating process and let their imaginations run wild.
