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

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

12 large strawberries
12 pretzel sticks
12 ounces of chocolate chips

Halloween Chocolate Covered Strawberries The Dipped chocolate covered strawberries look like Witch Brooms. Get the tips and recipe for witch broom strawberries. Dear Creatives.com

Instructions:

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.
Flip the strawberries upside down so the point is facing up.
Melt half the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until fully melted.
Coat each strawberry in the melted chocolate and transfer to a piece of parchment paper to harden.
Carefully press a pretzel stick into the top of each strawberry while the chocolate is still soft.
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.
Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.

Recipe Notes:

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.

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

Chocolate Consistency: Advice on thinning 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).
