Ghost Strawberries
Ghost Strawberries are the Halloween treat that takes about 10 minutes and looks like you spent way more time than that. White chocolate-dipped strawberries with black candy melt eyes and a little oval mouth — the natural teardrop shape of a strawberry already looks like a ghost, and the white coating leans all the way into it. They show up on Halloween dessert tables, school treat lists, and party boards every single October because they're genuinely that easy and that cute.
Ingredients
- 2 lb strawberries washed and dried
- 12 oz white chocolate or candy melts
- ¼ c black candy melts
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, melt the white chocolate or candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until completely smooth.
- Carefully dip each strawberry in the melted white chocolate and place on a sheet of parchment paper to rest. Repeat with all remaining strawberries. Allow the coating to set completely.
- In a small bowl, melt the black candy melts the same way. Transfer the melted black candy melts to a piping bag and cut a small hole in the tip.
- Pipe two small round eyes and a slightly larger oval mouth onto each strawberry.
- Allow to rest for about 10 minutes until fully set.
Notes
Store in the fridge until ready to serve. Consume within 1 day for best results. Dry strawberries completely before dipping — moisture prevents the coating from adhering properly. Allow the white coating to fully set before adding black faces to prevent colors from bleeding.
