Method

  1. Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with a silicone baking mat or parchment paper.

  2. In a double boiler over simmering water, melt the candy wafers, stirring occasionally until smooth.

  3. If the candy starts to harden, add a teaspoon of coconut oil or shortening and stir until smooth again.

  4. Spread sanding sugar in a small shallow bowl.

  5. Take a strawberry by the leaves and dip it into the melted candy, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl.

  6. Gently press the coated strawberry into the sugar, coating it completely.

  7. Place the strawberry leaf-side down on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the remaining strawberries.

  8. Refrigerate the strawberries for about 10 minutes to set, while keeping the melted candy warm in the double boiler.

  9. Use a small amount of the remaining melted candy to attach candy eyeballs near the tip of each strawberry.

  10. If desired, melt chocolate chips in a small bowl in the microwave and transfer to a piping bag with a small plain tip.

  11. Pipe mouths onto the monsters and let them sit for about 10 minutes to set.

How do I store these Halloween chocolate-covered strawberries?

Store these treats in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They can be kept for up to two days, but it's best to enjoy them as soon as possible for optimal freshness.

Can I use white chocolate instead of milk chocolate?

Absolutely! You can use white chocolate or even dark chocolate for a different flavor profile. The choice is yours.

Can I add sprinkles or other toppings?

It usually takes about 15-20 minutes for the chocolate to harden and set. You can speed up the process by placing the strawberries in the refrigerator for a few minutes.

While it's best to enjoy these treats as soon as possible, you can make them a few hours in advance. Just store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.

How far in advance can I make the chocolate dip?

You can make the chocolate dip in advance and store it in the refrigerator for up to a week. When you're ready to make the chocolate-covered strawberries, simply reheat the dip until smooth and creamy.
