Ingredients
Gathering the ingredients for these Halloween Ghost Strawberries is as easy as a fall breeze. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and dried
- 8 ounces white chocolate chips or candy melts
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- Miniature chocolate chips for eyes
- Black icing or edible gel for mouth
Feel free to substitute the coconut oil with vegetable oil if needed, and if you prefer a different kind of chocolate, dark or milk chocolate can also be used for a more dramatic ghost effect.
Instructions
Now, let’s dive into the fun part—creating these adorable ghost strawberries!
- First, prepare your workspace by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will prevent the strawberries from sticking as they set.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and fully melted.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted chocolate, allowing the excess to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still soft, press two miniature chocolate chips onto each strawberry to create the eyes of your ghost.
- Let the strawberries sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes or until the chocolate has set. If you’re in a hurry, you can refrigerate them for about 10 minutes to speed up the process.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, use the black icing or edible gel to draw a spooky mouth on each ghost. Feel free to get creative with different expressions!
And there you have it—a simple yet delightful treat that brings the spirit of Halloween to life with every bite.
