How To Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Witch Brooms

What you’ll need:

Fresh Strawberries: Choose firm, medium-to-large strawberries. Avoid strawberries with blemishes and bruising.

Other chocolate options: Chocolate/Candy Melts: Dark, milk, or white chocolate chips/bars. You can also use candy melts in shades of brown, black, or even green for a spooky twist.

Pretzel Sticks: The “handle” of your broom. Mini pretzel sticks work best.

(Optional) Decorations: Halloween sprinkles, edible glitter, or piping chocolate , or chocolate drizzle like this, for extra details.

Step-by-Step: How to Make Witch Broom Strawberries

1. Preparation is Key: Wash and thoroughly dry your strawberries. Moisture is the enemy of melted chocolate!
2. Melting the Chocolate: Instructions for melting chocolate (microwave or double boiler method). Make sure not to overheat the chocolate.
3. Dipping the Strawberries: See the instructions below for how to dip the strawberries and create the broom “bristles.”
4. Attaching the Pretzel Stick is Easy: Gently insert the pretzel stick into the chocolate-dipped strawberries to form the broom handle.
5. Setting Time: May vary by room temperature. Allow the chocolate to set up by placing the chocolate-dipped strawberries onto parchment paper before storage.
6. Decorating: (optional ideas) Using two different colored chocolates or edible glitter on them.

Recipe For Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries

Makes 12 chocolate-covered strawberries

Prep time: 30 minutes

Gather Your Simple Ingredients

Ingredients:

• 12 large strawberries
• 12 pretzel sticks
• 12 ounces of chocolate chips

Instructions:

1. Pat each strawberry dry with a paper towel, then cut the top off each piece to create a flat top (after the strawberries are completely dried). Moisture is the enemy of melted chocolate! I like to let them sit for 15-30 minutes before adding the chocolate.
2. Flip the strawberries upside down so the point is facing up.
3. Melt half the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until fully melted.
4. Coat each strawberry in the melted chocolate and transfer to a piece of parchment paper to harden.
5. Carefully press a pretzel stick into the top of each strawberry while the chocolate is still soft.
6. Melt the remaining chocolate chips and transfer to a piping bag. Cut the tip off the piping bag and pipe lines down the sides of each strawberry to create the look of a broom.
7. Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.

Recipe Notes:

Tips for Perfect Witch Broom Strawberries

• Dry Strawberries are a Must: Completely dry the strawberries. It is worth the extra time allowed. Air dry at room temperature: After patting them dry (with a paper towel), place the strawberries in a single layer on a paper-towel-lined tray or a cooling rack. Let them air dry for at least 15-30 minutes. This allows any remaining moisture to evaporate completely.
• Chocolate Consistency: What to do if the chocolate is too thick? Thin the chocolate if it’s too thick. You can add a bit of coconut oil to the chocolate (or shortening).
• Work in Small Batches: When doubling the recipe or making over 12, work in smaller batches of strawberries for easier handling (and covering with melted chocolate).
• Storage: How to store finished witch broom strawberries: Store the chocolate-covered strawberries covered or in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Bring to room temperature before serving for the best flavor.

Other helpful tools for recipes like this are: Little Dipper or Wilton Candy Melting Pot.
