How to Make Strawberry Ghosts: Step-by-Step Guide


Rinse strawberries thoroughly and pat dry on paper towels.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper; secure it with cooking spray if it curls.

Perfect Tips for Strawberry Ghosts Success

  • Use fresh, firm strawberries for the best shape and taste.
  • Stir the white chocolate constantly while melting to avoid burning.
  • Parchment paper sometimes curls, using a little cooking spray helps it stay flat.
  • For quicker chilling, place strawberries in the fridge but avoid condensation by allowing them to set for a few minutes at room temperature first.

Fun Variations and Bonus Ideas for Spooky Treats

  • Use dark chocolate for dipping instead of white for a different look and richer flavor.
  • Add a tiny mint leaf on each ghost’s head for a festive “little hat.”
