We love an easy dessert and these Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries couldn’t be easier! I love strawberries but Halloween Strawberries….. I love them even better for spooky season!
With the help of a few silicone molds, you’ll look like a decorating genius when it comes to these homemade chocolate covered strawberries.
I know that I could have gone with the normal orange and black Halloween colors for these but I thought the red looked so good against the chocolate bats.
Ingredients For Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
- Fresh Strawberries
- Red Chocolate Candy Coating
- White Chocolate Candy Coating
- Chocolate Candy Coating
You’ll also need small to medium Halloween themed silicone molds.
For the Bats I used this Bats Silicone Candy Mold by Celebrate It™ Halloween from Michaels (But You could use something similar like this 2 Pack Halloween 3D Silicone Candy Molds Halloween Baking Mold with Skulls, Pumpkins, Spider, Bats, and Witch Hats from Amazon)
For the ghost and ghost face, I used these Mujiang Halloween Silicone Molds from Amazon.

How To Make Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries:
-
Melt white candy coating according to package directions.
Fill in the ghost molds with the white melted candy. Set aside to harden. -
Melt chocolate or black candy coating according to package directions.
Fill in the bat molds with the melted candy. Set aside to harden. -
Wash and completely dry strawberries.
-
Lay out a piece of parchment paper or foil.
-
Melt the red candy coating, according to the package directions. I melt mine in the microwave in 30 second bursts until melted and smooth.
-
Dip a strawberry down into the red chocolate, until covered.
-
Set it onto the parchment paper to harden.
-
To attach the bats and ghost, you can either press the hardened bats and ghost onto the wet red chocolate or use a bit of melted chocolate to “glue” them on later.
What Is Chocolate Candy Coating and Where Can I Find It?
Chocolate Candy coating is a chocolate that melts easily without tempering and coats and covers items with a smooth finish. It is also known as Chocolate Almond Bark, Chocolate Candy Coating, Candy Melts, Candy Wafers or confectionery and melting chocolate.
You can find Chocolate and White at most grocery stores in the baking section. But at craft stores like Hobby Lobby, Michaels and Walmart you can find Candy Melts in all sorts of colors!
Also if you want to buy the white candy coating at the grocery store because sometimes it is cheaper, you can use Oil Based Food Coloring for Chocolate to color it.
TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING:
Why the chocolate isn’t coating right:
- strawberries are too cold – chocolate won’t stick and will slide off of the berries
- Chocolate is too cold – chocolate will clump and not dip smooth
- Chocolate is too hot – chocolate will melt right off before it hardens
- Make sure to strawberries are 100% dry before trying to dip
