Line a workstation with parchment to help prep for your strawberry Mummies.
Place the chocolate in a microwave safe container. Heat on the defrost setting for 1 minute. Stir well. If any additional pieces of chocolate remain, heat an additional 15 to 30 seconds, being careful not to overheat. Add a teaspoon or two of shortening, if needed, to slightly thin the chocolate if you find it to be too thick.
Holding the berry by the top or stem, dip into the melted chocolate. Lift and twist slightly to allow the excess chocolate to fall back into the cup or bowl.
Set onto the prepared parchment paper and immediately add two candy eyes.
Repeat with the remaining fruit.
Add 1/2 cup white chocolate and 1 teaspoon shortening to a small zip top bag. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds on the defrost setting, adding additional time if needed to fully melt the candy.
Snip the corner of the bag with clean scissors.
Drizzle the melted white chocolate back and forth over each berry to create the mummy wrap.
Let the berries set for 5 minutes and enjoy.
