Tips & Variations of this recipe

Change up the chocolate. I like using white chocolate so they are ghost colored but you can use milk chocolate or dark chocolate but you can also use different colored chocolate melts.

Add more flavors. You can also drizzle peanut butter, caramel and other flavor toppings along with the melted chocolate to change things up.

Use a Double Boiler to melt chocolate. When you are melting chocolate for dipping the best way to do so is with a double boiler. You can buy a double boiler in the store but they are so easy to make at home with items you already have in your kitchen. If you have never used a double boiler read how to make a double boiler at home.

Change up the eyes. I like using chocolate chips, but you can also use small candies like M&Ms or Reece’s Pieces, small candy eyeballs or frosting. You can also use Halloween sprinkles for the mouth and the eyes.

Add Sprinkles. You can add white, clear or colored crystal sprinkles or colored sugar.

Can I line my baking sheet with parchment paper?

Yes you can line your baking sheet with parchment paper, wax paper or a silicone mat. Aluminum foil is not recommended as it can stick.

The edges of my ghosts look a little rough, how do I best clean them up?

The best way to smooth and define your edges is while the chocolate is still soft. Take a toothpick or lollipop stick and run it around the edge to either separate the messy part from the main body and then remove once chocolate has hardened, or use the stick to push the edge smooth and into the body of the ghost.

What’s the purpose of the vegetable oil?

The oil added to the chocolate helps it stay smooth and creamy and it also prevents it from melting as quickly as pure chocolate. You can also use coconut oil instead of vegetable oil.

Can I use olive oil instead of vegetable oil?

Vegetable is the best oil to use as it is flavorless. Olive oil, avocado oil, sesame oil etc all have a distinct flavor which you will want to avoid for your chocolate.

What’s the best type of chocolate to use?

For these Halloween chocolate pops, I just used everyday white chocolate chips. However, you can also use baking chocolate or melting wafes. Both of those options will not require adding the vegetable oil.

My white chocolate doesn’t look real smooth when I’m melting it?

White chocolate can look a bit dry when melting. When you add the oil the chocolate will smooth out and be nice and shiny.

Can I make these in advance?

Yes, these Halloween chocolate pops will last for up to a week! Allow them to set completely before removing them from the tray, then you can wrap each one individually or keep them all in an airtight container.

Storage Instructions

The White Chocolate Ghost Pops should be refrigerated or kept in a cool dark place. Store in an air tight container as chocolate can pick up odors.
