Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set aside.

Start by washing and thoroughly drying the strawberries and letting them drain on paper towels.

Spider Strawberries

Melt a ¾ cup of dark Belgian chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals, stirring between each one until just melted and smooth. (Reserve a small amount of the dark chocolate for the Mummy Strawberry)

Dip 6 mini pretzels (1 at a time) in the dark chocolate allow the excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl and then place on the baking sheet.

Insert 2 toothpicks into the top of a strawberry. Dip the strawberry in the dark chocolate and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Place the strawberry on the lined baking sheet. Add 5 red pearl sprinkles for the eyes, then add a red Jimmie sprinkle for the mouth and white Jimmie sprinkles for teeth. Place the sheet in the fridge for 10 minutes or the freezer for 5 minutes. This will allow it to set quickly for the next step.

Remove the chilled strawberry and pretzels from the refrigerator. Cut the pretzel in half lengthwise to make 2 legs, remove the small piece of pretzel in the center of each pretzel leg and discard. Repeat with remaining pretzels to create the rest of the legs. We found that only three legs securely fit on each side of the strawberry, but you could try to fit four.

Using a toothpick spread a small amount of dark melted chocolate on a pretzel “leg” and attach it to the strawberry. Hold it to secure and continue with the remaining “legs”. Allow them to fully set before enjoying.

Frankenstein Strawberries

Melt a ½ cup of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals, stirring between each one until just melted and smooth. Add a few drops of green candy color and stir until the color is evenly distributed throughout the chocolate.

Insert 2 toothpicks into the top of a strawberry. Dip the strawberry in the green chocolate and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Then place the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet.

Immediately add black sprinkles for the hair, two candy eyes, and more black sprinkles to create his mouth.

When the chocolate is almost set, cut a pretzel stick in half and insert each half as a bolt on both sides of his neck. You can add a small white circular sprinkle with a drop of melted chocolate to the edge of the bolt if you would like. Allow them to fully set before enjoying.

Halloween Sprinkles Strawberries

Melt a ½ cup of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals, stirring between each one just until smooth.

Add in a few drops of purple candy color and stir until the chocolate is evenly covered.

Insert 2 toothpicks into the top of a strawberry. Dip the strawberry in the purple melted chocolate, and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Then place the strawberry on the lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with an assortment of Halloween-colored sprinkles. Allow them to fully set before enjoying.

Mummy Strawberries

Melt a ½ cup of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl at 20-second intervals, stirring between each one until just melted.

Take a tablespoon of the melted white chocolate and insert it into a piping bag.

Insert 2 toothpicks into the top of a strawberry. Dip the strawberry in the white melted chocolate, and allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl. Then place the strawberry on the lined baking sheet. Repeat with a second strawberry. Place the sheet in the fridge for 10 minutes or the freezer for 5 minutes. This will allow it to set quickly for the next step.

Remove the chilled strawberry from the refrigerator. Using a toothpick spread the dark chocolate (reserved from the spider strawberry above) in a small rectangle on the upper third of the strawberry.

Place two small green circular sprinkles over the dark chocolate as eyes for each strawberry. Using the chocolate in the piping bag to pipe the “bandages” randomly over the strawberry. Allow them to fully set before enjoying.
