Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pint fresh strawberries, washed and patted dry
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Googly eye candies, enough for each strawberry

Instructions

  1. Prepare Strawberries: Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them completely dry using paper towels. Ensuring the strawberries are dry helps the chocolate adhere properly.
  2. Melt White Chocolate: Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 15 to 30 second intervals, stirring well after each interval until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Take care to avoid overheating to prevent burning.
  3. Dip Strawberries: Holding strawberries by the stem, dip each one into the melted white chocolate. After dipping, place the strawberry on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Drag the bottom of the dipped strawberry slightly to create a ghost tail effect.
  4. Decorate Ghosts: Quickly place googly eye candies on the chocolate-coated strawberry before it sets. Use a toothpick dipped in chocolate to swirl out small ‘o’ shapes to form the ghost’s mouth.
  5. Set the Chocolate: Transfer the baking sheet with strawberries to the refrigerator and chill until the white chocolate hardens, about 30 minutes. Once firm, serve immediately and enjoy your spooky strawberry ghosts!

Notes

  • Use fresh strawberries with intact stems for easy dipping and decorating.
  • Be sure the strawberries are dry to help the chocolate coating stick well.
  • The white chocolate can be tempered or coated with a little shortening to improve meltability and shine.
  • Store finished strawberry ghosts in the fridge and consume within 1-2 days for freshness.
  • If you don’t have googly eye candies, small chocolate chips or edible markers can be used to create eyes.
