Description
Create spooky and sweet ‘Scream’ inspired chocolate covered strawberries for Halloween parties, sleepovers, or movie nights. This easy recipe features fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate with eerie ghost faces drawn in dark chocolate.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (about 20 strawberries), washed and dried
- 10 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or black candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
- Optional: red gel icing, edible eyes, black food coloring gel
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Add coconut oil if needed for smoother texture.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted white chocolate. Let excess drip off and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until the coating is firm.
- Melt dark chocolate or black candy melts.
- Use a piping bag, toothpick, or ziplock bag to draw two oval eyes and a long scream mouth on each strawberry.
- Chill for another 10-15 minutes until firm.
- Serve on a spooky platter or snack board.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing.
- Use high-quality melting chocolate or candy melts for the smoothest finish.
- Let the white chocolate fully set before decorating to prevent smudging.
- Store in a single layer in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Perfect for Halloween girls’ parties, movie nights, and sleepovers!
