Ingredients
24 large fresh strawberries, washed and dried
1 cup high-quality dark chocolate melting wafers
48 slivered almonds (for fangs)
1 tsp coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
Red decorative icing or raspberry jam (optional, for ‘blood’)
Instructions
Step 1: Ensure all strawberries are completely dry and at room temperature before beginning.
Step 2: Melt the dark chocolate wafers and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second increments, stirring until completely smooth.
Step 3: Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate until 3/4 coated, then gently shake off the excess.
Step 4: Immediately place two slivered almonds near the top of the dipped section, angling them outward to create the ‘fang’ look.
Step 5: Place the strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature for 30 minutes until the chocolate is fully set.
Notes
Make sure berries are bone-dry to prevent chocolate from seizing. Store in a cool, dry place.
