Description
Juicy strawberries dipped in silky orange chocolate, decorated to look like mini pumpkins for a festive fall treat.
Ingredients
- Fresh strawberries
- Orange candy melts
- Coconut oil (for thinning)
- Chocolate cookies (for crumble base)
- Green frosting (optional for vines)
- Parchment paper
- Decorative piping bag
Instructions
- Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries, leaving green tops intact.
- Melt orange candy melts with a little coconut oil until smooth and glossy.
- Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate, letting excess drip off.
- Place on parchment paper and let set slightly.
- Using a piping bag with the same melted chocolate, drizzle vertical lines to create a pumpkin-ridge look.
- Crush chocolate cookies and spread on a plate as a “dirt” base.
- Set the strawberries upright on the cookie crumble and chill until firm.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to avoid seizing the chocolate.
- Use a high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Chill the strawberries for a firmer texture before serving.
