Halloween Mummy Strawberries (Printable Version)

Fresh strawberries coated in smooth dark chocolate with white chocolate drizzles and candy eyes.

# Ingredients:

→ Fruits

01 - 20 medium to large fresh strawberries, firm and bright red

→ Chocolate

02 - 200 grams dark or semisweet chocolate chips
03 - 200 grams white chocolate chips

→ Decorations

04 - 40 small candy eyes

→ Optional Ingredients

05 - 5 milliliters coconut oil or vegetable shortening

# Steps:

01 - Rinse strawberries under cool running water gently and pat completely dry with paper towels, focusing on the leaves to prevent moisture from seizing the chocolate.
02 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat and arrange candy eyes within reach for timely decoration.
03 - Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring thoroughly until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if using to achieve a glossy, thinner consistency.
04 - Holding each strawberry by the green leaves, dip about three-quarters of the berry into the melted dark chocolate, rotate for even coverage, and lift slowly. Shake gently to remove excess chocolate.
05 - Arrange dipped strawberries on the prepared sheet with approximately 2.5 cm spacing, working quickly before the chocolate sets.
06 - While chocolate is still tacky, press two candy eyes onto the upper third of each strawberry. Use a toothpick for precise adjustments if necessary.
07 - Let the chocolate harden at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or refrigerate for 5 minutes until firm but not shiny.
08 - In a clean, dry bowl, melt white chocolate chips using the same microwave method until fully smooth, taking care to avoid overheating.
09 - Transfer melted white chocolate to a piping or heavy-duty zip-top bag; snip a small corner to control drizzle thickness.
10 - Drizzle white chocolate randomly across each strawberry to mimic mummy bandages, varying direction and spacing while keeping candy eyes visible.
11 - Allow decorated strawberries to set at room temperature until matte and firm, or refrigerate for 10 minutes to speed setting.

# Notes:

01 - Ensure strawberries and utensils are completely dry to prevent chocolate from seizing.
