Ingredients
Scale
Strawberries
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, rinsed and dried
Chocolate Coating
- 8 ounces white chocolate or white candy melts
Decorations
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips for eyes
- 1/4 cup regular chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate for mouths
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper to prevent the strawberries from sticking after dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate: Place the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted without lumps.
- Dip the strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem or with a toothpick and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off slightly before placing the strawberry on the prepared baking sheet.
- Add the eyes: While the chocolate coating on each strawberry is still wet, press two mini chocolate chips onto the surface to create spooky eyes for the ghosts.
- Create the mouths: Melt the dark chocolate chips if you are using them for the mouths. Use a toothpick or a piping bag to draw different mouth shapes on each strawberry ghost for a fun and unique look.
- Chill to set: Place the baking sheet with the decorated strawberries in the refrigerator for 15 to 20 minutes to allow the chocolate to harden and set completely.
- Serve: Once set, serve your spooky strawberry ghosts cold and enjoy a festive, delicious treat.
Notes
- Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to help the chocolate adhere properly.
- Use a variety of mouth shapes and expressions to personalize each ghost for added fun and creativity.
- Store leftover strawberry ghosts in the refrigerator to keep the chocolate firm and the strawberries fresh.
