Halloween Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Michaela makes these creepy (and delicious!) chocolate dipped strawberries each year for Halloween and they are always a hit!
Halloween Chocolate Dipped Strawberries
Ingredients:
• 1 cup frozen dark sweet cherries
• 1/2 teaspoon sugar
• 8 ounces vanilla candy coating (almond bark)
• 1 pound whole strawberries
Instructions:
-
-
Thaw the frozen cherries in the microwave for 2 minutes at 30% power. You can also leave out at room temperature for about an hour to thaw.
-
Force the thawed cherries through a sieve into a bowl using a wooden spoon (your spoon may stain red) until you get about 1/2 cup of juice. Whisk the sugar into the cherry juice. *Discard the leftover cherry mash in the strainer (or put it on top of a stack of pancakes- yum!)*
-
Pour the mixture into a small saucepan and cook over medium-high heat until it begins to simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and let simmer for 8-10 minutes until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool completely.
-
Melt the vanilla candy coating according to package directions. *Microwave on low setting in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in-between intervals, until melted*
-
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Dip strawberries into melted candy coating and place on wax paper-lined baking sheet. Place in fridge until candy coating is hardened.
-
Dip candy coated strawberries in the cooled cherry sauce. I like to dip some of the strawberries and splatter the rest. I use a silicone pastry brush into the sauce and flick the sauce of the strawberries for a splattered look.
