Everyone loved it last night. I'm not a fan of almonds so I used peppermint extract, which tasted great.

These were a big hit at last night's Halloween party. They were the first 'goodie' that was gone. Easy to make, great eye appeal and tasty.

I use almond bark as well, it's cheaper then baking chocolate & it tastes great. DO NOT use the extract!! The only way you can add flavoring is if it is oil based, otherwise your chocolate (or bark) will seize. Have fun!

I loved this recipe. I also made the mistake of using the almond extract and when I mixed it up it would not stay at the melted consistency. I would defintely make these again. I haven't mastered drawing the mouth yet but practice makes perfect. Would like to see other things that can be made with the chocolate.

Two years I've made these, and they are quite popular - I give them as gifts to friends. I haven't mastered the art of drawing the mouth with chocolate, and wonder what tricks there are to doing that. Be very picky with your strawberries, since one that isn't quite ripe will detract significantly from the taste.

I have made these for my son's class for the last 3 years and they are always a hit! It is very important that your strawberries are completely dry before you dip them in the chocolate!!

Made these for a finger food potluck Halloween party last year. People lined up to first take pictures, then not a single one was left. They were a fantastic hit along with the marshmallow witches!

We call it Almond Bark here in Missouri, and its already flavored with almonds so No don''t add any to Bark or Chips while melting. I use double boiler on low with just the Almond Bark. These are wonderful. I prefer to add some almond slivers for some added protein. I lay 3 or 4 down then put strawberry on top. Enjoy! I Sure Will!
