Strawberries may not be the first treat that comes to mind for Halloween, but the famous, sweet and heart-shaped berry is surprisingly ideal for dressing up (and the dressed up!) on the spookiest holiday of the year.
There are countless ways and reasons to get creative with strawberries on Halloween. Let’s start with how much fun they are to make with the whole family. While the little strawberry pumpkins, ghosts and mummies look like they took all day to make, they are super easy to whip up as demonstrated in this how-to video by Sarah from Snixy Kitchen.
Below you will find some of our favorite picks for the season. And don’t forget, berries can be dressed up for any season or holiday. For example, Be sure to check out our Strawberry Santas for when Christmas rolls around!
