    Making them is a really fun way to show off your creative side with the decorations. They'd be great to serve at a Halloween party, or to take along as a spooky snack for Trick or Treating.

    For this recipe, the strawberries are coated with a mix of chocolate and candy melts, then decorated with more chocolate and a smattering of sprinkles and candy eyes to bring out the festive fun.

    I tested different coatings for these strawberries multiple times and found that a blend of candy melts and chocolate is the best coating by miles.

    You see, chocolate requires tempering if you want a good shine, but candy melts can simply be melted and used.

    On the other hand, chocolate tastes great, while candy melts can be a bit underwhelming, which is a problem if they're a key part of the dish's flavour.

    And finally, candy melts come in all sort of colours while chocolate can be quite hard to colour as it has a tendency to seize or split unless you buy specialist powder or oil based colouring.

    Using a combination of candy melts and chocolate, melted together, gives the best of both worlds. It's easy to work with, you get great colour, a shiny finish and delicious flavour. Win win win win!

    Cut open halloween chocolate covered strawberries.

    Ingredients

    • 400 g (14.1 oz) strawberries
    • 80 g (2.8 oz) white chocolate
    • 40 g (1.4 oz) dark chocolate
    • 40 g (1.4 oz) white candy melts
    • 40 g (1.4 oz) orange candy melts
    • 40 g (1.4 oz) black candy melts
    • 1 tbsp candy eyes
    • 1 tsp orange sprinkles

    Equipment

    • Weighing scales
    • Measuring spoons
    • Microwave safe bowls
    • Non-stick baking sheet
    • Baking paper
    • Piping bags

    Instructions

    Line a tray with baking paper.

    Set up three microwave safe bowls, containing the following:

    • 40g white chocolate, 40g candy melts
    • 40g white chocolate, 40g candy melts
    • 40g dark chocolate, 40g black candy melts

    Melt each bowl gently in the microwave in 20 second bursts, stirring until just melted.

    Hold a strawberry by its stem and dip one of the chocolate colours. Turn to coat and then allowing the excess to drip away before laying on the lined sheet.

    Repeat so that all the strawberries are coated, with roughly a third in each colour. If you're adding sprinkles to some, make sure to do it while the chocolate is still wet.

    Allow the chocolate to set.

    Transfer the remaining chocolate to piping bags - if the chocolate has begun to set, you can briefly re-warm it in the microwave first.

    Snip the very end off the piping details and use them to add details, such as a zigzag drizzle or contrasting facial features for vampires, jack o lanterns, ghosts and skeletons. You can also use a dot of chocolate to attach the candy eyes.
