White Chocolate Ghost Strawberries
These cute and spooky white chocolate ghost strawberries are a quick and easy treat for your Halloween movie night. Juicy strawberries dipped in creamy white chocolate and decorated as ghosts make for a fun, delicious snack for all ages.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound fresh strawberries (rinsed and completely dried)
- 1.5 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smooth melting)
- Mini chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate (for faces)
Instructions
Preparation
- Wash and dry your strawberries completely. Any moisture can make the chocolate separate or clump.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat white chocolate chips and coconut oil (if using) in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until melted and smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip into the melted white chocolate. Let the excess drip off slightly so a little 'tail' forms at the bottom to look like a ghost.
- Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for 10–15 minutes, or until firm.
- Once the coating is set, use mini chocolate chips or melted dark chocolate to draw eyes and a mouth. Chill again for 5 minutes to set.
Notes
Pat strawberries dry with a paper towel before dipping to ensure the chocolate sticks perfectly. Use melting wafers for smoother, glossier results. Keep refrigerated until serving for the best texture and flavor. For a fun twist, dip half the batch in orange-tinted white chocolate for pumpkin ghosts.
