Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 12 fresh strawberries, washed and dried
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Edible googly eye candies, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with paper towels. Ensure they are completely dry so the chocolate adheres well.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 15 to 30-second increments, stirring frequently until smooth and melted. Be careful not to overheat or burn the chocolate.
  3. Dip Strawberries: Dip each strawberry into the melted white chocolate, then place it on a wax paper-lined baking sheet. Drag the bottom of the coated strawberry gently to create a ghost’s tail shape.
  4. Decorate Ghosts: Place two edible googly eyes onto the chocolate while still wet. Using a toothpick, swirl and draw an ‘O’ shape to form the ghost’s mouth.
  5. Set and Serve: Refrigerate the decorated strawberries until the white chocolate hardens completely, about 20-30 minutes. Serve chilled and enjoy your spooky treats!

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent chocolate from slipping off.
  • Use a gentle hand when dragging the bottom of the strawberry for the ghost’s tail shape to avoid breaking the chocolate coating.
  • If white chocolate thickens while melting, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or shortening to smooth it out.
  • Store the finished strawberry ghosts in the refrigerator and consume within 1-2 days for optimal freshness.
