Chocolate Strawberry Oreo Crabs Ingredients
Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!
- Strawberries: Choose firm, pointy, and unbruised berries. Be sure to dry them off on a paper towel after cutting them in half, so the chocolate will stick.
- Dark chocolate: I prefer a good-quality chocolate bar for the best results.
- Candy eyes: I use the mini size. Find them in baking shops, large supermarkets, and online.
- Oreos: Or any similar round cookies.
Possible Variations
- Strawberries: Or figs, kiwi, apple, or pear.
- Dark chocolate: Milk or white chocolate.
- Oreos: Rice cakes, biscuits, cookies, or crackers.
How to Store Leftovers
Transfer them to an airtight container and keep them in the refrigerator. Enjoy them within 1 day.
FAQs
Not at all. Theyโll still look like crabs.
Stick them in the fridge for 20 minutes or so, especially if itโs warm where you are.
A silicone mat will work fine, too.
