Ingredients
~30 fresh strawberries
~8 ounces white baking chocolate, chopped
~1 teaspoon shortening
~1/8 teaspoon almond extract
~1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions
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.
