Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 24 pieces Candy eyes
- 36 pieces Candy corn
- 0.25 cup Orange candy melts
- 12 pieces Pretzel sticks
- 2 teaspoons Vegetable oil
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries. Ensure there is no moisture as it will prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Place them in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to make the chocolate easier to coat.
Dip each strawberry into the melted semi-sweet chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Place the dipped strawberries on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to set.
While the chocolate is still wet, attach 3 pieces of candy corn to the back of the strawberry to resemble turkey feathers. Position them with the pointed ends facing downward.
Stick one candy eye on each side of the strawberry near the top, using a small dab of melted chocolate as glue if needed.
Melt the orange candy melts and white chocolate chips in separate bowls using the same method as the semi-sweet chocolate (microwaving in intervals and stirring). Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to each bowl to ensure smoothness.
Using the melted orange candy, pipe or drizzle a small triangle under the eyes to resemble the turkey's beak.
Pipe a wavy line of melted white chocolate under the candy corn feathers on the back of the strawberry to add detail to the feathers (optional).
Break the pretzel sticks in half and insert one half into the bottom of each strawberry to act as the turkey's legs.
Allow the chocolate to fully set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster results (about 10-15 minutes). Serve and enjoy your adorable Chocolate Covered Strawberry Turkey Treats!
