Preparation

Step 1

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 almond extract.

Dip strawberries in chocolate mixture; place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to form the ghosts' tails

While the chocolate is warm, immediately press chocolate chips into coating for eyes. Freeze 5 minutes to harden chocolate.

In microwave, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate and draw a mouth on each ghost. Refrigerate leftovers.
