Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, washed and thoroughly dried, with stems intact
- 12 ounces white chocolate melting wafers or white candy melts
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips or semi-sweet chocolate chips
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate melting wafers in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the chocolate is completely smooth and fluid.
- Holding each strawberry by its green stem, dip it into the melted white chocolate, leaving a small portion of the red strawberry visible near the stem. Allow any excess chocolate to drip back into the bowl.
- Carefully place the dipped strawberries onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat this process with all remaining strawberries.
- Refrigerate the dipped strawberries for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the white chocolate coating is completely set and firm to the touch.
- While the white chocolate is setting, melt the dark chocolate chips in a separate small microwave-safe bowl in 15-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth.
- Transfer the melted dark chocolate into a small piping bag with a very fine tip cut off, or into a small ziptop bag with one corner snipped to create a tiny opening.
- Once the white chocolate is set, pipe two small dots onto each strawberry for the ghost's eyes and an oval or 'O' shape for the mouth, creating distinct ghost faces.
- Allow the dark chocolate details to set at room temperature for a few minutes or refrigerate briefly before serving.
