How to Make It
Line a baking sheet with parchment and make sure the strawberries are completely dry. Melt the white chocolate with the coconut oil until smooth. Hold each berry by its leaves, dip it in the white chocolate, let the extra drip off, and stand it up on the parchment. Chill until set. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and use a toothpick or small piping bag to draw two eyes and an “O” mouth on each ghost, then chill a few more minutes.
Tips for the Best Chocolate Dipped Strawberry Ghosts
- Dry the berries. Any water will make the chocolate seize.
- Hold the leaves. Dip each berry by its green top.
- Let them set. Chill before you draw the faces.
- Use a toothpick or piping bag. Either one makes tidy faces.
- Serve the same day. The berries are freshest that way.

Equipment
Method
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the strawberries are completely dry — any water will seize the chocolate.
- Combine the white chocolate chips and coconut oil in a heatproof bowl set over simmering water (or microwave in 30-second bursts), stirring until completely smooth.
- Hold each strawberry by its green leaves and dip it fully into the white chocolate, turning to coat. Let the excess drip back into the bowl, then set it upright on the parchment.
- Refrigerate 10 minutes until the coating is set.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips. Dip a toothpick or use a small piping bag to draw two eyes and a spooky “O” mouth on each ghost.
- Chill 5 more minutes to set the faces. Serve the same day for the freshest berries.
Notes
- Make sure the strawberries are completely dry — any water will seize the chocolate.
- Serve the same day for the freshest berries.
