Strawberry ghosts

Chocolate covered strawberries come into their own more around Valentine’s day than Halloween, but with a little bit of creativity, these can be transformed into scary ghosts.

Strawberry ghosts

Ingredients

  • 1 punnet strawberries
  • 150g white chocolate
  • Large chocolate chips

Method

  1. Melt the white chocolate in a bowl placed over a small saucepan of barely simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water.
  2. Prepare a board covered with wax paper (baking paper will do in a pinch).
  3. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate and using a teaspoon, transfer the chocolate covered strawberry onto the wax paper, taking a little extra chocolate to make the tail.
  4. Before the chocolate sets, place two chocolate chips on the strawberry for the ghost’s eyes.
  5. Remove the pointy bit of a third chocolate chip and place it on the strawberry for the ghost’s mouth.
  6. Allow the chocolate to harden completely.
