3 Ingredient Chocolate Covered Strawberry Pumpkins

Looking for a fun Halloween treat that the kids will love but is healthy too? Well then you've come to the right place. These Chocolate Covered Strawberry "Pumpkins" are perfect for a party or a festive after school snack. They’re so easy to make too. Just 3 ingredients! Strawberries, orange candy melts and semisweet chocolate chips. You could also use white candy melts and make ghost faces with the semisweet chocolate. I made ghost strawberries at our Halloween party last year and they were a hit.

Simply melt the candy melts in the microwave on high for 1 minute (plus 30 seconds more if needed). Stir until smooth and dip your strawberries.

Then let them set on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. You can put them in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes for quicker setting time.

Then place chocolate chips in a disposable pastry bag. Microwave on high for 1 minute. Massage bag gently until chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Cut a tiny corner from the tip of the bag and pipe your faces or stripes on the dipped strawberries.

Voila! You're done. Aren't they cute!
