I love Halloween.

Every year( except maybe during a pandemic), I subject my family to Halloween gatherings, costumes, and decorations to get us into the spirit of this most epic of celebrations!


I discovered an Instructable on making chocolate dipped berries which served as my inspiration for this recipe.

You can add a few more seconds if needed to get a smooth melt.

Grasp the Berries by Their Greens and Dip Them Into the Chocolate Gently Rotating to Cover Completely.

Lower the Berries Onto the Parchment Tracing a Zig Zag Path to Create the Tail.

Don’t worry if this takes a couple of trial runs to look good. Fails will happen, I suggest you eat the evidence.

Before the Chocolate Hardens Completely(about a Minute), Gently Place the Eyes Into the Chocolate.
