Ingredients
12 large fresh strawberries
1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
24 slivered almonds
1 tsp coconut oil (optional)
White icing or white chocolate for the eyes
Instructions
Step 1: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry with paper towels. Any moisture will prevent the chocolate from adhering correctly.
Step 2: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Step 3: Melt the dark chocolate wafers and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
Step 4: Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate to coat the bottom two-thirds, then place them on the prepared baking sheet.
Step 5: Refrigerate the berries for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate shell is fully hardened.
Step 6: Using a small, sharp knife, carefully cut a horizontal wedge (a ‘V’ shape) out of the front of the strawberry to create the mouth.
Step 7: Press two slivered almonds into the top of the ‘mouth’ opening to act as the vampire fangs. Use white icing to dot two small eyes above the mouth.
Notes
Make sure the strawberries are at room temperature when dipping to prevent the chocolate from cracking.
