Ingredients
1 pound fresh strawberries
12 ounces high-quality white chocolate melting wafers
2 ounces dark chocolate chips
1 teaspoon coconut oil
Instructions
Wash strawberries thoroughly under cold running water and pat them completely dry with paper towels to ensure the chocolate adheres properly.
Trim the green stems from the strawberries if a rounded ghost head shape is desired.
Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
Stir the coconut oil into the melted white chocolate for a silky, dippable consistency.
Hold each berry by the base, dip into the white chocolate until fully covered, and place on a parchment-lined tray.
Allow the strawberries to cool and the white chocolate to set completely.
Melt the dark chocolate and transfer to a piping bag or small paper cone with a fine tip.
Pipe two small circles for eyes and an oval for a mouth onto each white-coated strawberry to create the ghost expressions.
Notes
Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping, as any moisture on the fruit will cause the chocolate to seize or slide off. For the best result, use high-quality melting wafers rather than standard store-bought chips, which may contain stabilizers that inhibit smooth dipping. Keep the coated berries in a cool area to maintain the structural integrity of the chocolate faces.
