Tips for the Perfect Halloween Snack

  • Keep them cold- Store your strawberry ghosts in the fridge until ready to serve.
  • Use gel icing- It’s easier for little hands to help decorate.
  • Make a variety- Try milk or dark chocolate ghosts too for a spookier mix.
  • Serve them up- Add to a platter with popcorn, pretzels, and mini biscuits for easy Halloween snack ideas everyone will love.

Storage Tips

Keep your strawberry ghosts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. For the best texture, enjoy them the same day you make them (they’re too cute to last long anyway)!
