Ingredients

  • 30 fresh strawberries
  • 8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon shortening
  • 1/8 teaspoon almond extract

Directions

  • Wash strawberries and gently pat with paper towels until completely dry. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate and shortening at 50% power; stir until smooth. Stir in extract.
  • Dip strawberries in chocolate mixture; place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to form the ghosts' tails. Immediately press chocolate chips into coating for eyes. Freeze 5 minutes.
  • In microwave, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate and draw a mouth on each ghost. Refrigerate leftovers. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.

These were cute and easy to make. Had trouble making the mouth with the toothpick so I piped it on using a plastic bag and cutting a small hole in one corner. Worked fantastic. Will make them again. Hed

I brought these cute Strawberry Ghosts to our card game in the club house and everyone loved them. I did have them in the freezer too long, but by the end of the game, they were just right. Yes, the mouth was hard to do. Someone mentioned using a pencil, but I don't know if I would use that.

Anyway, great recipe and great fun!!!

Super! I made this for my niece's 8th b-day party last weekend which always has a Halloween theme. I make the chocolate dipped strawberries frequently but this was a cool, spooky new twist
