Description
These Scream Chocolate Covered Strawberries are a spooky and sweet Halloween treat. They feature fresh strawberries dipped in white chocolate with eerie ghost faces inspired by the iconic ‘Scream’ mask. Easy to make, they are perfect for parties, sleepovers, or movie nights.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb fresh strawberries (about 20 strawberries), washed and dried
- 10 oz white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips or black candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
- Optional: red gel icing (for blood effect), edible eyes, black food coloring gel
Instructions
- Wash and dry strawberries thoroughly. Any moisture can prevent chocolate from sticking properly.
- Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 30-second intervals, stirring each time. Add coconut oil if needed for smoother texture.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into melted white chocolate. Let excess drip off and place on parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill for 15–20 minutes until coating is firm.
- Melt dark chocolate or black candy melts. Use a piping bag, toothpick, or ziplock bag to draw two oval eyes and a long scream mouth on each strawberry.
- Chill for another 10–15 minutes until firm. Serve on a spooky platter or snack board and enjoy!
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid chocolate seizing.
- Use high-quality melting chocolate or candy melts for the smoothest finish.
- Let the white chocolate fully set before decorating to prevent smudging.
- Store in a single layer in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
- Perfect for Halloween girls’ parties, movie nights, and sleepovers!
