How Cute!! I love this idea.
From Nancy Mueller in Bloomington, Minnesota. Juicy strawberries, chocolate and a lick of almond flavor make these little bites a howling treat for your party guests!

Ingredients:
30 fresh strawberries
8 ounces of chopped white baking chocolate
1 teaspoon of shortening
1/8 teaspoon of almond extract and
1/4 cup of miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Wash the strawberries and gently pat with paper towels until they are completely dry. In a microwave safe bowl, melt the white chocolate and shortening at 50% power and stir until smooth. Stir in the almond extract. Dip the strawberries in the chocolate mixture; place on a waxed paper lined baking sheet, allowing excess chocolate to form the ghosts' tails. Immediately press chocolate chips into coating for eyes. Freeze for 5 minutes. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt remaining chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Dip a toothpick into melted chocolate and draw a mouth on each face. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
