Fun & Spooky Chocolate Strawberry Ghosts

I just love making these white chocolate strawberry ghosts with my kids every Halloween. They’re such a fun twist on chocolate covered strawberries, sweet, fresh, and just spooky enough to make everyone smile.

They always look so cute on the dessert table next to our other favorites like Halloween graveyard dirt cake or Halloween cake pops recipe, and they only take about 30 minutes with just 3 ingredients.

Plus, they’re one of those treats that feel a little lighter, so I never mind when my kids grab an extra one. If you’re looking for more festive ideas, try my Halloween Rice Krispie treats, Halloween Oreo balls and spider cookies!

How to Make Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ghosts

Start by melting the white chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals until it’s smooth. Dip the strawberries and coat them completely.

Place the dipped strawberries on a parchment paper lined baking sheet and drag them a little so the extra chocolate forms a spooky ghost tail.

Next, melt dark chocolate candy melts in the microwave until smooth. Then using the back of a mini spoon or toothpick draw on the eyes and mouth.

Place the white chocolate strawberry ghosts in the fridge for 5 minutes or until hardened.

Recipe Tips

  • Use mini chocolate chips or black icing: Make the faces even easier by adding mini chocolate chips or a small tube of icing instead of melted chocolate.
  • White chocolate: Swap the wafers with chopped white baking chocolate, almond bark, or vanilla Candiquick.
  • Candy eyeballs: Add candy eyeballs for a silly twist instead of melting dark chocolate for the faces.
  • Unique expressions: Get creative with your ghosts, make an open mouth, play with different sized eyes, or lay a few on their sides.

Ingredients 

  • 18 medium strawberries , washed and dried very well
  • 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers , I prefer Ghiradelli
  • 2 ounces dark chocolate melting wafers , or use mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Prep. Line a baking sheet or the counter with parchment or wax paper. Make sure your strawberries are washed and completely dry before beginning (any water will ruin them). I like to leave them on paper towels for a couple hours after washing.
  • Melt white chocolate. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 8 ounces white chocolate melting wafers at 50% power for 30 second intervals, stirring in between. When chocolate is almost melted, remove from microwave and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  • Dip strawberries. Holding 18 strawberries by the stem, dip into the white chocolate, turning to coat the entire strawberry. Place the strawberry on the pan and drag the strawberry to create a ghost line. Repeat with remaining strawberries. Chill 5 to 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
  • Add ghost face. Melt dark chocolate using the instructions above. Then use the back of a mini spoon to draw on the eyes and mouth. Alternatively place mini chocolate chips on right after dipping the white chocolate.
  • Chiil. Refrigerate for 5 minutes to harden.

Notes
