Why You'll Love This Recipe
Ingredients & Notes
- Strawberries: Fresh strawberries work best here. Pick firm ones with the green tops removed so they sit neatly on the chocolate base.
- Chocolate Chips - Semi-sweet or milk chocolate are both great. If you want a less sweet option, dark chocolate melts beautifully and pairs perfectly with strawberries.
- Pretzels - Use pretzel sticks. These act as the broom handle and add a crunchy, salty flavor to the sweet fruit and chocolate mix.

How To Make Strawberry Chocolate Witch Brooms
See below for a full list of ingredients and detailed instructions.
- Pat each strawberry dry with a paper towel, then cut the top off each piece to create a flat top.
- Flip the strawberries upside down so the point is facing up.
- Melt half the chocolate chips in the microwave in 30 second increments, stirring between each increment, until fully melted.
- Coat each strawberry in the melted chocolate and transfer to a piece of parchment paper to harden.
- Carefully press a pretzel stick into the top of each strawberry while the chocolate is still soft.
- Melt the remaining chocolate chips and transfer to a piping bag. Cut the tip off the piping bag and pipe lines down the sides of each strawberry to create the look of a broom.
- Allow the chocolate to harden before serving.
Substitutions & Tips
- Use white chocolate chips and add a touch of food coloring (orange or green) for even more Halloween fun.
- Add glitter or Halloween sprinkles right after dipping so that they stick to the chocolate.
- Melt chocolate slowly: Use a microwave in short bursts so it doesn't burn.
- Insert pretzels gently: Push the pretzel into the top of the strawberry while the chocolate is still slightly soft. If it cracks, dip the end of the pretzel in a little extra melted chocolate and use it as a "glue".
- Serve the same day: Fresh strawberries release moisture, so these treats are best enjoyed within a few hours of making. You can make them in the morning to use for your party later.
