Ingredients

Scale

White Chocolate Base

  • 6 ounces (170 g) white chocolate, chopped into small pieces or baking chips

Strawberries

  • 12 medium to large strawberries

Decorations Option 1

  • 24 candy eyeballs
  • 12 chocolate chips or chocolate callets

Decorations Option 2

  • 6 ounces (170 g) chocolate (dark, milk, semi-sweet, or white), chopped into small pieces or baking chips
  • Halloween sprinkles

Decorations Option 3

  • 6 ounces (170 g) white chocolate, chopped into small pieces or baking chips
  • green sanding sugar sprinkles
  • 24 candy eyeballs

Decorations Option 4

  • 6 ounces (170 g) white chocolate, chopped into small pieces or baking chips
  • orange sanding sugar or sparkling sugar sprinkles

Optional

  • Candy eyeballs and chocolate chips for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash and dry the strawberries thoroughly using paper towels. It is essential that the strawberries are completely dry to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Reserve a small handful of the chopped chocolate. Place the remaining chocolate in a heat-proof bowl over a saucepan with about 1 inch of barely simmering water, ensuring the water doesn’t touch the bowl bottom (or use a double boiler). Stir constantly until melted. Remove from heat and stir in the reserved chocolate until smooth and fully melted.
  3. Dip Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the leaves as a handle and dip into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip back into the bowl. Gently scrape the bottom of the strawberry against the bowl rim to remove extra chocolate.
  4. Decorate: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet. While chocolate is still wet, add decorations such as candy eyeballs, chocolate chips, or colored sanding sugars depending on your chosen design.
  5. Set Chocolate: Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving to ensure the coating is firm and decorations stay in place.
