    What You’ll Need To Make Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries

    Ingredients for Halloween chocolate covered strawberries.
    • Strawberries: Fresh strawberries are best for this recipe. If you can, try to find strawberries that are all about the same size so they'll be easier to dip.
    • Candy melts: White candy melts are the best choice for this recipe, but you can use any color that you like. Candy melts are available in the baking aisle of most grocery stores. If you'd prefer, you can use white chocolate instead of candy melts.
    • Cookie icing: Black cookie icing is used to create the spooky eyes and mouths on the strawberries. You can find this in the baking aisle of most grocery stores, or you can use dark chocolate or an edible food marker as an alternative for creating the spooky faces on your chocolate-dipped strawberries.

    Step-By-Step Instructions

    Start by washing your strawberries and allowing them to dry completely. It's important that they're completely dry before you dip them, otherwise the candy coating won't stick.

    Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl or in a saucepan set over low heat.

    Dip each strawberry in the candy coating, then place them on a wire rack or a sheet of parchment paper to set.
