Why You’ll Love This Recipe

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ghosts combine the sweetness of ripe strawberries with the creamy decadence of white chocolate. This recipe is ideal for creating fun, festive desserts that look impressive but are surprisingly simple to make. Plus, they are a healthier alternative to many Halloween candies.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 12 fresh strawberries, washed and dried
• 200g white chocolate, chopped
• 50g dark chocolate, melted (for decoration)
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Equipment

• Baking tray lined with parchment paper
• Microwave-safe bowls or double boiler
• Spoon or piping bag for decoration

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Prepare the Strawberries: Ensure the strawberries are completely dry. Any moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering properly.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. For a silkier texture, stir in coconut oil.
3. Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off before placing it on the parchment-lined tray.
4. Create the Ghost Faces: Using a piping bag or spoon, drizzle melted dark chocolate to form spooky eyes and mouths on the white chocolate coating. Be creative and have fun!
5. Let Them Set: Place the tray in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely.

Pro Tips for Perfect Ghosts

• Use high-quality chocolate for a smoother finish and better flavor.
• Work in a cool environment to prevent the chocolate from melting too quickly.
• Experiment with different facial expressions to add personality to your ghosts.

Store your Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ghosts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Serve chilled for the best texture and flavor.
