Ghost Strawberries

🔑 Key to Success #1 – Start with Clean Strawberries

These Chocolate Covered Strawberry Ghosts start off with a basket full of clean strawberries.

Wash the strawberries under running water at the sink then place them on a few paper towels to dry.

You want to make sure your strawberries are dry before you start dipping them into the almond bark.

When almond bark is combined with water or other liquids, the almond bark could seize up and this will cause you not to get a smooth coating on the strawberries.

If possible, allow the strawberries to sit on the paper towel and dry for an hour or more.

You can even wash the strawberries in advance and then place them back into the refrigerator until ready to dip them.

🔑 Key to Success #2 – Dip the Strawberries

When you are ready to dip the strawberries, put the almond bark into a microwave-safe bowl and melt it in the microwave.

First, microwave the almond bark on high power for 1 minute, then stir well.

Continue microwaving the almond bark in 30-second intervals. Be sure to stir often.

The total microwave time will be 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. At this point, you should be able to stir until the almond bark is smooth.

Dip each strawberry into the melted almond bark.

You want to cover the bottom 3/4 of each strawberry. Leave the stem uncovered.

Place the chocolate-covered strawberries on a sheet of waxed paper.

Allow the excess almond bark to pool at the base of the strawberry like the bottom of a ghost.

🔑 Key to Success #3 – Strategically Place the Eyes and Mouth/Nose

It’s important to place the eyes and mouth/nose onto the strawberry ghosts before the almond bark hardens.

If you wait until the almond bark is dry, it may crack.

And let’s talk about it – is it a mouth or a nose?

On some of the strawberries, it looks like a ghost mouth saying “O”.

Other times, it looks like a cute little button nose.

You can experiment and see if you like the ghosts better with the point of the chocolate chips pointing up or pointing down.

We decided that we liked the point of the chocolate chips facing in with the smooth bottom of the chocolate chip facing out.

It’s all about personal preference though.

Either way you point the chocolate chips, these strawberry ghosts are super cute and “scary” delicious.

My final tip is to make dip these Strawberry Ghosts close to the time you want to serve them.

The juice tends to start leaking out of the chocolate shell if you let them sit for a long time.

They will still be delicious, but perhaps a little messy.
