Boo-tiful Berry Ghosts: A Healthy & Fun Halloween Treat
Prep Time: 30 minutes Cook Time: 0 minutes Servings: 20
Ingredients
- One package (16 ounces) of Organic Strawberries
- 1 (10 oz.) package of white candy melts or white chocolate chips
- Fine-tipped black icing tube
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This will help the ghosts keep their shape as they set.
- Wash and dry: Gently rinse the strawberries and pat them dry with a soft cloth or paper towel. Any excess moisture can prevent the chocolate from sticking correctly.
- Melt the magic: Follow the package directions to melt your white candy melts or chocolate chips. You can use a microwave or a double boiler for this step.
- Dip and Swirl: Hold each strawberry by the stem or leaves and dip it into the melted chocolate. Swirl the berry to coat it thoroughly, leaving about ¼ inches of red showing at the tip—this will be the ghost's "face." Gently shake off any excess chocolate.
- Set the stage: Place the dipped strawberries on the prepared baking sheet and let them set completely. To speed up the process, pop them in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
- Bring them to life: Once the chocolate is firm, use the black icing to pipe on two small eyes and a spooky mouth. Get creative! Add fangs, a surprised expression, or any other ghostly features you can imagine.
These charming Strawberry Ghosts will surely be a hit at your Halloween gathering. They're a fun and festive way to celebrate the season while keeping things healthy and delicious.
