Ingredients
- 2 cups strawberries
- 1 1/2 cups white chocolate, melted
- 1 tsp coconut oil
- 1/4 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1 cup chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the strawberries from sticking during chilling.
- Dip strawberries in white chocolate: In a large bowl, combine the melted white chocolate and coconut oil, stirring until smooth and well mixed. Dip each strawberry into the white chocolate mixture, ensuring it is fully coated except for the leafy top. Place two mini chocolate chips near the top of each dipped strawberry to form eyes. Arrange the strawberries on the prepared baking sheet.
- Harden the coating: Place the baking sheet with coated strawberries in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to allow the white chocolate to set and harden.
- Pipe the mouths: Put the melted chocolate chips into a Ziplock bag and snip a small corner to use as a piping bag. Pipe small mouth shapes onto each strawberry below the eyes to complete the ghost faces.
- Final chilling: Return the strawberries to the refrigerator for an additional 5 minutes to let the piped chocolate mouths set. Once firm, serve immediately or keep refrigerated until ready to serve.
Notes
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for the best flavor and appearance.
- Ensure the white and dark chocolates are melted and slightly cooled before dipping and piping to avoid melting the strawberries.
- You can substitute mini chocolate chips with small candy eyes if desired.
- Store the strawberry ghosts in the refrigerator and consume within one day for optimal freshness.
