Method
 

Preparation
  1. Chill your baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place it in the freezer to chill.
  2. Prepare the strawberries: Insert wooden skewers or toothpicks into each strawberry.
  3. Melt the chocolates: Use a double boiler method to melt your milk chocolate and orange candy melts separately.
Dipping
  1. First dip: Dip each strawberry into the melted milk chocolate, coating about two-thirds of it.
  2. Secondary dip: Dip the top half of the strawberries in the orange candy melts and drizzle the remaining milk chocolate over them.
Finishing Touches
  1. Final touches: Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over your strawberries, then roll them in your chosen fall-themed toppings.
  2. Chill to set: Place your decorated strawberries in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to fully set.

Notes

Ensure your strawberries are at room temperature before dipping. Store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
