White Chocolate Ghosts

Happy October everyone! To kick off this month's festivities, I'm going to share how to make adorable white chocolate ghosts with you today! These are perfect as cupcake toppers (as shown here), cake toppers, or cute additions to a Halloween themed candy or snacks board! My little white chocolate ghosts are quick to whip up and can be decorated however you'd like.

White Chocolate Ghosts Supplies List

  • White chocolate chips
  • Black edible gel
  • Orange candy melts (optional)
  • Pink candy melts (optional)
  • Parchment paper
  • Spoon
  • Piping bags (optional)

Steps

Pour the chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl. Heat the white chocolate chips at 30 second increments, stirring between each heating, until melted smooth. Dip the back of the spoon into the chocolate, fully coating the back. Next, press the spoon onto the parchment paper in a downward motion. Repeat until the parchment paper is no longer visible under the white chocolate.

Making ghosts with melted chocolate

Each ghost should be roughly two to three inches long. Every one will be slightly different and that is what makes them cute! Continue making as many ghosts as desired. Once finished, place the parchment paper on a cookie sheet, and refrigerate until the chocolate is hardened again, about 30 minutes.

Making faces with the edible black gel

Once the white chocolate is hardened, use the edible black gel to make little faces on the ghosts! I love making different expressions on them to make it more playful! The gel sets pretty well, but it will smear so be mindful of that.

Finishing touches

Decorating the ghosts

This last step is completely optional, but I enjoyed it! I used the orange and pink meltable candies to pipe on little bows and bowties for my white chocolate ghosts. The process for melting these candies is the same as with the chocolate. Microwave at 30 second increments, stirring in between each heating time, until smooth. Take two disposable piping bags and fill them with orange and pink melted candies, respectively. Pipe little orange bowties on half of the ghosts and little pink bows on the second half. So cute! The candy should harden pretty quickly on the cold white chocolate, but if not, place the ghosts back in the fridge for a few minutes once finished.

Finished ghost should be thick enough to stand as a cupcake topper

Party Ready!

These white chocolate ghost cupcakes would be such a hit for a Halloween themed party or event! Please let me know if you make these in the comments below.

Happy October!
