Description

Delightfully spooky and sweet, these Strawberry Ghosts are a fun and easy no-bake treat perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. Succulent strawberries are dipped in creamy white chocolate, adorned with mini chocolate chip eyes, and decorated with dark chocolate mouths to create adorable ghostly faces. Quick to prepare and sure to impress, these ghostly berries bring a playful charm to your dessert table.

Ingredients

Scale

Strawberries

  • 2 cups strawberries

White Chocolate Coating

  • 1 1/2 cups white chocolate, melted
  • 1 tsp. coconut oil

Decorations

  • 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
  • 1 cup chocolate chips, melted

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  2. Dip strawberries: In a large bowl, combine the melted white chocolate and coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Dip each strawberry into the white chocolate mixture, ensuring they are well coated, then place two mini chocolate chips near the top of each strawberry to serve as eyes. Arrange the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
  3. Chill to set: Place the baking sheet with coated strawberries into the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, allowing the white chocolate to harden fully.
  4. Pipe mouths: Transfer the melted chocolate chips into a ziplock bag and snip off a tiny corner to create a piping bag. Pipe small mouths onto each strawberry, creating ghostly expressions.
  5. Final chilling: Return the strawberries to the refrigerator and let them cool for an additional 5 minutes to set the piped chocolate. Once set, your Strawberry Ghosts are ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for best results and easier dipping.
  • The coconut oil helps thin the white chocolate for smooth dipping and a nice shine.
  • If the melted chocolate thickens, gently rewarm it to maintain a suitable consistency for dipping or piping.
  • Store the finished Strawberry Ghosts in the refrigerator and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
  • For added fun, try using colored candy melts to create different ghostly characters.
