STRAWBERRY GHOSTS
30 fresh strawberries
8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
1 teaspoon shortening
1/8 teaspoon almond extract
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Wash strawberries and gently pat with paper towels until completely dry. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt white chocolate and shortening at 50% power; stir until smooth. Stir in extract.
Dip strawberries in chocolate mixture; place on a waxed paper-lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to form the ghosts' tails. Immediately press chocolate chips into coating for eyes. Freeze for 5 minutes.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate and draw a mouth on each face. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
*Sometimes I don't have the mini chocolate chips on hand so I melt the regular and use a toothpick to make eyes and mouth.

Do the recipes have to be something we came up with on our own or can they be something we found somewhere?
ReplyDeleteThe recipes can be anything that you like do use doing with Halloween. So no, you don't have to come up with them yourself. You just need to share one that you like.
