How to Make Chocolate Covered Mummy Strawberries
This recipe comes together in about 10 minutes. No baking, no stress. 🙌 Hit play to watch or read through the instructions below!
- Prep your counter with parchment paper or wax paper so cleanup is easy. Or use a lined baking sheet for easy moving while setting.
- Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20–30 second increments, stirring in between, until smooth.
- Dip each strawberry in the melted chocolate, leaving the top of the strawberry out of the chocolate. Let the extra drip off. Place them on the parchment and let them set.
- Scoop the remaining chocolate into a piping bag (or a zip-top bag with a tiny corner cut off).
- Pipe two little dots of chocolate near the top of each strawberry or add right after dipping strawberries, before chocolate sets. Press candy eyeballs into place before the chocolate hardens. 👀
- Drizzle the rest of the chocolate in thin criss cross lines across the strawberries to look like mummy wrappings. This can be done with a spoon or by adding to a ziplock bag or piping bag (although its really easy to use a spoon).
- Let them sit until the chocolate sets completely. Then enjoy your festive treats with the whole family.
And that’s it! Cute, spooky, and tasty. a great addition to your Halloween parties!
Where to Serve These Halloween Treats

- Plate them up for a neighborhood get-together or potluck.
- Make them for your kids as a silly after-school snack.
Basically, they’re great anytime you want a no-fuss Halloween dessert that looks like you put in way more effort than you actually did. 😉
Fun Variations to Try
Want to change it up a little? Try these ideas for a twist on a cute Halloween no-bake treat:
- Dark Chocolate Mummies: Dip in dark chocolate first, then drizzle with white.
- Colored Mummies: Use orange or green candy melts for a brighter look.
- Mini Monster Mummies: Add candy mouths or extra eyes for a goofy twist.
- Fancy Mummies: Sprinkle with edible glitter for a sparkly effect. ✨
- Ghost Strawberries: Skip drizzling excess chocolate melts after dipping white chocolate strawberries, add eyes and you’ve got ghosts!
The base recipe is simple, but you can make it as fun or fancy as you like.
Can They Be Made Ahead?
Yes and no. Strawberries are a little tricky since they’re juicy.
You can make these a few hours before your party and keep them in the fridge. Store them in a single layer in an airtight container. Just don’t stack them or they’ll smudge.
For the best taste and texture, serve them the same day you make them. If you store them longer than 24 hours, the strawberries may get mushy.
Common Questions About Mummy Strawberries
Can I use milk chocolate instead of white?
You can, but then they won’t look like mummies. You could drizzle white chocolate over milk chocolate for a layered look.
Do I have to use candy eyeballs?
Nope! You can make little eyes with mini chocolate chips or dots of dark chocolate. Or even by piping black candy melts for eyes or using black sprinkles, get creative with what you have on hand to make thesethe perfect chocolate-covered strawberries.
How do I keep the chocolate smooth?
Don’t overheat it. Heat in short bursts in 20-second increments up to 30 seconds works best, stir often, and add a tiny bit of coconut oil if it feels too thick.
Can I freeze chocolate-covered strawberries?
Not really. When they thaw, the strawberries get watery and the chocolate cracks. Best to keep them chilled in the fridge.
What if I don’t have a piping bag?
Use a ziploc bag, snip off a corner tip of the bag, and drizzle away. Although you can drizzle chocolate using a spoon if you are in a pinch.
