Ingredients
Scale
- 10–12 fresh strawberries (or raspberries)
- 10–12 mini pretzel sticks
- 1 cup (175g) chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)
- Halloween-themed sprinkles, edible glitter, or crushed cookies (optional for decoration)
Instructions
- Wash strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely with a paper towel.
- Gently insert one pretzel stick into the top of each strawberry, ensuring the pointed end faces downward.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 20-second bursts, stirring well in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip the bottom half of each berry into the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off.
- Place the broomsticks onto a parchment-lined tray.
- Before the chocolate sets, add sprinkles, crushed cookies, or edible glitter to enhance the look.
- Place the tray in the fridge for 15 to 20 minutes to let the chocolate harden.
- Once they’re set, they’re ready to serve.
Notes
- Always dry your berries thoroughly before dipping.
- Use coconut oil or shortening in your chocolate to make it smoother and easier to dip.
- Don’t rush the chilling time—cooling the broomsticks in the fridge ensures the chocolate sets beautifully.
- Use pretzel sticks that aren’t too thick; thinner ones keep the balance of texture better and look more realistic.
- Decorate while the chocolate is still wet so that toppings stick well.
- You can make these up to 24 hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator.
- Transport them in a cupcake box or a flat container with dividers to keep them upright and protected.
