Chocolate Covered Ghost Strawberries Ingredients:
- Fresh Strawberries: 12 large strawberries – make sure they are thoroughly washed and dried.
- White Chocolate: 8 ounces – use high-quality white chocolate for a smooth and creamy coating.
- Black Cookie Icing: 1 tube – for drawing the ghost faces on the strawberries.
- Parchment Paper: 1 sheet – for lining the tray to prevent sticking.
How to Make Chocolate Covered Ghost Strawberries:
- Prepare the Strawberries: Wash and thoroughly dry 12 large strawberries. Ensure they are completely dry to help the chocolate adhere properly.
- Melt the White Chocolate: Place 8 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Alternatively, melt the chocolate using a double boiler.
- Dip the Strawberries: Hold each strawberry by the stem and dip it into the melted white chocolate, covering about two-thirds of the berry. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off before placing the strawberry on a parchment-lined tray.
- Create Ghost Faces: Once the white chocolate has set slightly but is still soft, use black cookie icing to draw ghost faces on each strawberry. Create simple eyes and mouths to give the strawberries their spooky appearance.
- Set the Chocolate: Refrigerate the strawberries for about 15-20 minutes to allow the chocolate to fully set and harden.
- Serve: Arrange the Chocolate Covered Ghost Strawberries on a serving platter and enjoy!
Possible Substitutions:
- If you prefer, you can use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate for a different flavor.
- For added flair, drizzle some melted chocolate over the ghosts or add edible glitter for a festive touch.
- If you don’t have black cookie icing, melted dark chocolate or edible markers can be used to draw ghost faces.
- Ensure that strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
These Chocolate Covered Ghost Strawberries are a delicious and charming way to celebrate Halloween.
They are sure to be a hit at your party or make a sweet treat for any Halloween-themed event!
