Description
Chocolate covered strawberry ghosts are a whimsical Halloween treat that combines fresh strawberries and creamy white chocolate. They’re easy to make and perfect for any spooky celebration.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/4 cup dark chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare Your Station: Wash strawberries gently under cold water. Pat them dry with paper towels to avoid sogginess.
- Melt the White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 30-second intervals until smooth, stirring after each interval.
- Coat the Strawberries: Dip each dry strawberry into the melted white chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Lift it out and let any excess drip back into the bowl.
- Chill the Coated Strawberries: Place dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 15-20 minutes until set.
- Decorate Your Ghosts: Melt dark chocolate chips using the same microwave method. Transfer melted chocolate into a piping bag (or use a toothpick) to draw eyes and mouths on each strawberry.
- Serve and Enjoy!: Arrange your spooky treats on a serving platter and watch them disappear!
