Strawberry Ghosts

View the original recipe here.

Ingredients

• Large carton of fresh strawberries
• 8 oz melting chocolate white
• 1 oz melting chocolate (for face)
• Parchment Paper

Directions

• Begin by rinsing your strawberries. Place them on a paper towel to dry.
• Line a baking sheet or pan with parchment paper. Place washed and dried strawberries right next to your pan. Also, place a hot pad next to the pan for when the chocolate is melted. (If the parchment rolls, try taping it down)
• Melt your white chocolate. Consider either a double boiler or pot, stirring constantly on low heat. When the candy coating is completely smooth, remove it from heat. If using a microwave, heat in short intervals, stirring each time.
  Hold your pot of chocolate at an angle. Grab strawberries by the stem and dip both sides in the chocolate. Drag and drop the strawberries to make a ghost tail when placed down on the parchment paper. Continue doing this for all strawberries.
• Cool the strawberries on your counter until hard. Melt milk chocolate and place it in a Ziploc bag with a small cut in the corner. Pipe on eyes and mouth and let set. Place in fridge to set more quickly.
• You can store the ghosts in an airtight container by separating the layers with more parchment. They can be stored in the fridge for 2-3 days. To reduce moisture in the container, consider adding a paper towel to the bottom of the container.

At the very bottom, add two more slits.

Pretzel Spiders

View the original recipe here. 

Ingredients

• ¼ cup quick oats (Try Co-op Gold Toasted Oats)
• 6 medjool dates, or about 16 regular dates
• 1 tbsp unsweetened cocoa
• 1 tbsp maple syrup or honey
• 2 tbsp creamy peanut butter or almond butter
• 36 small pretzels (Try Co-op Gold Pretzel Twists)

Directions

• If using regular, dry dates, pour boiling water over them then let stand for 10 minutes. Drain and squeeze out excess water. Remove the pits from the dates and add all the ingredients into a food processor fitted with a steel blade.
• Pulse all the ingredients and mix; they resemble a coarse ‘crumble.’ The mixture doesn’t have to be completely smooth.
• Scoop some dough and roll it into small balls.
• Cut the pretzels in half and attach them as the ‘legs.’
• Insert the mini chocolate chips into the balls for the eyes.
