How to Make Chocolate-Dipped Strawberry “Brains”

Step 1: Prepare the Strawberries

Wash and dry strawberries completely. Remove the green tops if desired for easier dipping.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate

Melt white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If using dark chocolate, melt separately.

Step 3: Dip the Strawberries

Optional: Dip each strawberry in dark or milk chocolate first for a “base coat,” then let it set for a few minutes.

Step 4: Create the “Brain” Effect

Using a piping bag or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner snipped, pipe the melted white chocolate over the strawberries in squiggly, brain-like folds.

Step 5: Add “Blood”

Drizzle red candy melts or strawberry syrup over the top to create a gory effect. Let the chocolate set for 10–15 minutes at room temperature or in the fridge.

Step 6: Serve & Spook!

Arrange the “brains” on a Halloween-themed platter for maximum creepy impact.
