    • Fresh Strawberries
    • White Chocolate Melting Chips
    • Black Writing Icing

    2. Dip the strawberries in the melted white chocolate. Coat all the way up the strawberry.

    3. Place the strawberries on parchment paper so the chocolate will harden.

    4. Once the chocolate is hard, draw ghost or skeleton faces on one side of the strawberries with the black writing icing.

    5. Let the frosting set.

    Make either a skeleton face or a ghost face.

    6. Serve these Halloween Strawberries as a fun after school snack, halloween party treat, or pre trick or treat fun.

    Hint: Make sure to melt the chocolate in 30 second or less intervals. This will help you avoid the chocolate from over melting. When this happens, it becomes difficult to work with.

    Substitutions

    • Orange Food Coloring - use orange food coloring in the white chocolate and draw pumpkin faces to make jack-o-lantern strawberries.
    • Dairy Free - Use your favorite dairy free chocolate to make this a dairy free and vegan treat.
    • Green Food Coloring - add green food coloring to the white chocolate to make witch or Frankenstein faces.

    Equipment

    • Parchment Paper

    Storage

    Store in the refrigerator loosely covered with plastic wrap for 2-3 days. The chocolate may start to have condensation on the outside over time. This is normal.

    These do not freeze well and the texture of the strawberry will change.

    Top tip

    Make sure to let the chocolate harden before adding the face. It will be very difficult to make if the chocolate is still soft.

    This is a great activity to make with your kids or small children. They will love decorating spooky faces on strawberries.

      We loved making these halloween strawberries as a family. We used Ghirardelli melting wafers and the consistency was perfect. So easy my five year old help put the faces on the strawberries.
