I like to find larger size strawberries so they are easier to dip into the melted chocolate.

Can I Use Frozen Strawberries?

This recipe is best to use fresh strawberries. If you try to frozen strawberries they will turn into a mess once they have thawed.

How to Prepare Strawberries:

Once you bring home your fresh strawberries, I like to go head and give them a good wash with water. Then place them on a paper towel lined baking sheet and let them dry.

They need to be completely dry before dipping into the melted chocolate. If you try to dip to early then the chocolate will not stick to the strawberry.

How to Melt Chocolate:

Since this recipe is called for colorful melted chocolate, we used wafers. They will melt just like any chocolate in the microwave, but it is best to heat in 30 second intervals.

We recommend to heat then stir after each time. This allows you to slowly melt the wafers and to closely watch them so they do not burn.

If you prefer you can melt the chocolate in a double boiler instead of a microwave-safe bowl.

Chocolate Covered Strawberries Halloween Recipe Tips:

Strawberries – Make sure to wash and dry strawberries before dipping into the melted chocolate.
Melting Chocolate – Don’t over melt the chocolate or it will burn and the chocolate will taste burnt.
Dipping Strawberries – Follow the recipe on when to add the decorations and went to allow the melted chocolate to harden.
Prepare Baking Sheet – Make sure to line the baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper for easy cleanup. This also helps when serving the strawberries.
Toothpicks – You may need to use a toothpick to make the face on these strawberries. They help with making small dots.
Candy Eyes – Instead of using black frosting, use candy eyes to decorate the strawberries.
Change the Chocolate – Instead of using wafers, you can melted candy melts or melted white chocolate. Then add in food coloring to create the color that you prefer. Candy melts come many different candy colors so it is fun to get creative.
