Description

Delightfully spooky and sweet, these Strawberry Ghosts are a fun and easy treat perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. Fresh strawberries are dipped in smooth white chocolate to create ghostly shapes, then decorated with melted milk chocolate faces for a hauntingly adorable finish.

Ingredients

Strawberries

  • 1 pint whole strawberries, rinsed and dried

Chocolate Coatings

  • 8 ounces white melting chocolate
  • 1 ounce milk melting chocolate (for face decoration)

Other

  • Parchment paper

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Begin by rinsing your strawberries thoroughly and then place them on a paper towel to dry completely. This ensures the chocolate will adhere properly.
  2. Set Up Workstation: Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper. To keep the parchment flat, spray a little cooking spray on the pan before laying down the paper. Place the strawberries near the pan and have a hot pad ready for handling the hot chocolate pot.
  3. Melt White Chocolate: Slowly melt the white candy coating by placing small amounts in a small pot over low heat. Stir continuously with a rubber spatula to prevent burning. This gradual process takes about 5 minutes, but ensures smooth, perfectly melted chocolate.
  4. Dip Strawberries: Hold the pot of melted white chocolate at an angle. Grab each strawberry by the stem and dip both sides into the chocolate. When placing the strawberry on the parchment, gently drag it down to create a spooky ghost tail shape. Repeat for all strawberries.
  5. Let Set: Allow the chocolate-coated strawberries to set on your countertop until the white chocolate hardens completely.
  6. Decorate Faces: Melt the milk chocolate and transfer it to a Ziploc bag, cutting a tiny corner for piping. Pipe eyes and mouths onto the ghost strawberries to create faces. Place them in the fridge to set the decorations more quickly.

Notes

  • Ensure strawberries are fully dry to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Use low heat and constant stirring when melting chocolate to avoid burning.
  • Dragging the strawberry to form the ghost tail adds a fun visual effect.
  • Placing decorated strawberries in the fridge helps the chocolate faces set faster but avoid leaving too long to prevent strawberry condensation.
