Witch’s Broomstick Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Here’s a fun and spooky recipe for “Witch’s Broomstick Chocolate-Covered Strawberries” that you can make for Halloween!

Witch’s Broomstick Chocolate-Covered Strawberries

Ingredients:

• 1 pound fresh strawberries (preferably with stems)
• 8 ounces dark chocolate or milk chocolate (your choice)
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
• Pretzel sticks (for broomsticks)
• Mini chocolate chips or edible eyes (for decoration)
• Orange or black sprinkles (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Strawberries:

   • Wash the strawberries gently and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are scorched, as water can cause the chocolate to seize.

2. Melt the Chocolate:

   • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate and coconut oil (if using). Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.

3. Dip the Strawberries:

   • Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, coating it well. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.

4. Create the Broomsticks:

   • While the chocolate is still wet, insert a pretzel stick into the bottom of each strawberry to resemble a broomstick.

5. Add Decorations:

   • If desired, sprinkle some orange or black sprinkles on the chocolate-covered part of the strawberry. You can also create spooky faces with mini chocolate chips or edible eyes.

6. Chill:

   • Place the decorated strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for about 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.

7. Serve:

   • Once the chocolate has hardened, arrange the Witch’s Broomstick Chocolate-Covered Strawberries on a platter and serve them at your Halloween party!

Enjoy!

These spooky treats are delicious and a fun addition to your Halloween festivities. Happy Halloween!
