Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup orange candy melts
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
- 1 tube black gel icing
- 1 tube yellow gel icing
- 1 set piping bags or small ziplock bags
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring after each interval, until smooth. Add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to achieve a glossy consistency.
Melt the milk chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same process as the white chocolate, adding 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil.
Melt the orange and green candy melts in separate microwave-safe bowls using the same process, stirring until smooth.
To create ghost strawberries, dip a few strawberries into the melted white chocolate, covering them completely. Place them on the parchment paper and use black gel icing to draw eyes and a mouth for the ghost’s face. Let them set.
For pumpkin strawberries, dip several strawberries into the orange candy melts, ensuring full coverage. Place them on the parchment paper, and once set, use black gel icing to draw jack-o’-lantern faces. Use the green candy melts to pipe small stems on top of each strawberry.
To make monster strawberries, dip strawberries into either the green candy melts or the milk chocolate. Use yellow and black gel icing to decorate them with eyes, mouths, or hair, creating creepy monster faces.
Let all the decorated strawberries sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate and decorations are fully set.
Serve immediately or store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
