There’s something inherently comforting about a sweet treat that’s both whimsical and wonderfully easy to make. These delightful White Chocolate Strawberry Ghosts keep the coziness alive on chilly afternoons or any day you crave a little playful warmth. With juicy strawberries hiding under a silky, ghostly exterior, this recipe is bound to bring a smile to your face.
Ingredients
- 1 pint fresh strawberries, rinsed and patted dry
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, to thin the chocolate)
- 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips, or chocolate syrup, for decorating
Instructions
Begin by washing your strawberries and thoroughly patting them dry. Any lingering moisture can prevent the chocolate from adhering evenly. Set them aside on a paper towel while you prepare your dipping station.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 30-second bursts and stirring in between each interval. Add the coconut oil if you prefer a smoother, more pourable consistency. Once the chocolate is completely melted, dip each strawberry—gripping by the green stem if possible—into the white chocolate. Gently tap off the excess, and place the dipped berries onto a parchment-lined tray or plate.
To create the ghostly faces, melt the dark chocolate chips (in the same microwave-friendly manner) or simply use chocolate syrup if you prefer. Using a small piping bag or a toothpick, draw on two small eyes and a spooky little mouth. Refrigerate your decorated strawberry ghosts for about 15 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
These Spooky-Delicious White Chocolate Strawberry Ghosts are a fun twist on a classic chocolate-covered treat and perfect for an impromptu get-together or a festive-themed dessert. They’re great for kids’ parties, cozy nights in, or anytime you want a sweet and playful boost. To get creative, you can swap the white chocolate for dark chocolate or experiment with peanut butter drizzle. If you’re looking to cut back on sugar, opt for sugar-free or vegan chocolate chips. No matter how you adapt it, this simple recipe promises a touch of whimsy paired with the bright sweetness of fresh strawberries.
