Halloween Strawberries Ingredients

Please be sure to scroll down to the recipe card below for the complete details!

  • Strawberries: Choose firm, sweet, and slightly pointy berries for the best results.
  • Dark chocolate: I use chocolate with 55% cocoa solids, but use any you like.
  • Candy eyes: You can find these at large supermarkets and bake shops.
  • Flaked almonds: For the teeth. Trim the pieces into similar sized shards.

How to Make Halloween Strawberries

  1. Prepare the berries: Choose pointy berries and trim off the leaves in a straight cut.
  2. Melt the chocolate and spoon the chocolate mouths onto the strawberries.
  3. Shape the teeth: Cut the flaked almonds into shards and stick them onto the chocolate.
  4. Final details: Stick on the candy eyes.

Possible Variations

  • Strawberries: Swap for figs, kiwi, peeled clementines, apricots, plums, nectarines, kiwi berries, blackberries, or halved apples.
  • Dark chocolate: Try milk chocolate.
  • Candy eyes: Round sprinkles, mini marshmallows, or omit.
  • Flaked almonds: Or pine nuts.

How to Store Leftovers

Keep leftover strawberries in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy them on the same day.

FAQs

Do I need to remove the strawberry leaves and stem?

You can leave them on if you prefer (they are perfectly edible).

Can I use frozen strawberries?

No, they will thaw too quickly.

Can I use candy melts?

Yes, you can.

I’m having trouble shaping the chocolate mouth with a spoon.

Try a piping bag or piping tool, instead.

I can’t get the eyes to stick. What can I do?

Dab a tiny amount of melted chocolate to the back of the eyes. Hold it in place for a few seconds, and they should stick.
