Yield: 12 servings
Prep Time20 minutes
Cook Time5 minutes
Total Time25 minutes

Ingredients

  • 12 large fresh strawberries with green leaves attached
  • 1 1/2 cups milk chocolate chips or melting wafers
  • 24 small candy eyes
  • 12 Candy corn pieces for the beaks
  • Red frosting for the wattle

Instructions

  • Wash the strawberries and dry them very thoroughly with paper towels. Make sure there is no moisture left on the berries. Keep the green leaves attached.
  • Add the chocolate chips to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
  • Hold each strawberry by its green leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating the berry while leaving the green leaves exposed. Let excess chocolate drip off.
  • Place the strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet with the pointed end facing down. Allow the chocolate to firm up slightly, but not completely.
  • Press two candy eyes onto the front of each strawberry. Add one candy corn piece underneath the eyes for the beak.
  • Refrigerate until the chocolate is completely firm. Once the chocolate is set, use the red frosting to pipe a tiny curved shape next to the beak.
