Ghostly Pears - The Perfect Halloween Treat
Looking for a spooky yet healthy treat this Halloween? These ghostly pears are not only delicious but also make for a fun and festive addition to any Halloween party spread.
Ingredients for Two Ghostly Pears:
- 2 organic pears
- 3.5 ounces (100g) white chocolate
- Edible colored markers or icing pens
- Wooden skewers for support
How to Make Ghostly Pears:
Preparing the Pears:
- Remove the stems from the pears and trim the bottoms slightly. It's okay if the pears don't stand perfectly straight.
- Carefully insert wooden skewers into the pears to ensure they hold well.
Melting the Chocolate:
- Break the white chocolate into small pieces to ensure it melts smoothly in a double boiler.
Decorating:
- Once the chocolate is completely melted, pour over the pears or brush it on using a pastry brush.
- For an added pop of color, sprinkle some festive jimmies or nonpareils onto the pears before the chocolate sets.
- Chill the pears in the refrigerator until the chocolate has hardened.
The Finishing Touch:
- After chilling, retrieve the Ghostly Pears and use the edible markers to draw spooky ghost faces on them.
Serving Suggestion:
Ghostly Pears make a fantastic centerpiece for your Halloween spread. Pair them with other Halloween Treats to offer a selection that's both spooky and scrumptious.
Tip: To amp up the mood, consider having a small bowl of dark chocolate sauce on hand for guests to dip their Ghostly Pears into!
