Ingredients
Scale
- 4 ripe pears (Bosc or Anjou work best)
- 1 cup dark chocolate chips (or milk chocolate if you prefer)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning chocolate)
- Mini chocolate chips or edible eyes (for decorating)
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (optional, for a “foggy” effect)
- Wooden sticks or skewers (optional, for easy handling)
Instructions
- Prepare the Pears:
Wash and dry the pears thoroughly. Cut the pears in half and remove the core and seeds. If using wooden sticks or skewers, carefully insert them into the bottom of each pear half to make them easier to dip and handle. - Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If you’re using coconut oil, stir it in with the chocolate to thin it slightly for easier dipping. - Dip the Pears:
Dip each pear half into the melted chocolate, covering the entire cut surface. You can also tilt the pear to get a more “ghostly” uneven coat of chocolate if you want it to resemble a ghost more closely. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off. - Decorate the Ghosts:
Once the pears are coated, place them on a tray lined with parchment paper. Use mini chocolate chips or edible eyes to create faces on the pear ghosts. For a spooky touch, you can sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top of the chocolate to create a misty, “foggy” effect. - Chill and Set:
Refrigerate the pears for about 15–20 minutes to let the chocolate harden and set. - Serve:
Once the chocolate has fully set, your Chocolate Pear Ghosts are ready to be served! Arrange them on a plate or dessert tray, and enjoy the spooky sweetness!
