Halloween treats are steadily filling my pinterest feed, my bloglovin’ emails and my trips down every aisle in the grocery store. So I figure it’s time! I love these little strawberry ghosts! I originally made these two years ago but never posted them on here. You may have came across them on the Candiquik Recipes site but they are back and improved with a couple changes!
This time around, I used mini chocolate chips for the eyes and the mouth. (Last time I made these, I used an edible marker). Let’s just say that mini chocolate chips were easier. I whipped up about 18 strawberries in 35 minutes and still had Candiquik leftover.
Usually when you are dipping anything in chocolate, you are worried about coating pooling at the bottom and having all that excess coating to break or chop off.
Not with these, as that’s exactly what you are going for!
So give the strawberry a healthy dip in the Vanilla Candiquik candy coating and immediately bring to the wax paper. Holding the stem of the strawberry, let the excess coating drip off and form the tail. As you can see, I drizzled the coating off of the end of the strawberry before setting it on the wax paper. Each ghost will be unique, have fun with these!
- 1 (16 oz) package Vanilla CANDIQUIK Coating
- 24 Fresh strawberries
- Mini chocolate chips
- Melt Candiquik in tray according to directions on package.
- Place a large piece of wax or parchment paper on a flat surface.
- Dip strawberries in melted Candiquik Coating, remove and allow the excess coating to pour off onto the wax paper to form the "tail" of the ghost; slide the strawberry back and set on wax paper to dry.
- Before coating has set, place two mini chocolate chips on as the eyes. For the mouth, cut off the tip of a mini chocolate chip and place on the strawberry with the bottom side facing up.

OMG! These are just so cute and you did a great job making them look like ghost!
Aww, thank you Nancy! The first one (in front) turned out the best!
Such cute little treats, Sarah! And easy, too! I think I’ll make some to take to work – that way I’m not tempted to eat them all myself!
Hi Ashley! Thank you very much :)…they didn’t last very long around here! But that’s okay, they were so easy to make!
This might be the cutest thing I have seen all day. Perfect for Halloween!
You’re so sweet. Thank you!
Stop being so cute! STOP IT AT ONCE. I’ve done strawberry ghosts before, but it hadn’t occurred to me to purposefully make a candy tail–but that little twist totally makes the candy!
I am so ready for the Halloween treats! I love this time of year! These are adorable and simple too! My kids could help!
Hi Tanya! Kids could totally help – the messier the cuter!
Where do I find the •1 (16 oz) package Vanilla CANDIQUIK Coating
that you referred to? I have looked all over this site and can not find a link to it.
Hi Claudia, you can find Candiquik at Walmart and Target stores (located in the baking aisle). It is also at many other grocery stores across the country, I can help locate another retailer with your zip code? Hope this helps. Thank you!
