Strawberry decorating examples
Strawberry ghosts:
1. Dip your strawberry in your white chocolate and rather than letting the extra chocolate drip off before putting it on your parchment paper quickly move the strawberry to the paper and let it slightly drag to create a ghostly tail shape
2. You can even add eye sprinkles
Mummy strawberries
1. Add some melted white chocolate to a piping bag or zip lock bag with a piping tip, add eye sprinkles to your white chocolate dipped strawberries. Move your piping bag or zip lock bag back and forth over your dipped strawberry to create a mummy wrapped design
Spiderweb strawberry:
1. Create your web shape with white chocolate
2. Fill in the chocolate web
Spider strawberry:
1. Create the spider head, body, and legs with chocolate
Spiderman strawberry:
1. Use a strawberry without chocolate and add small dots with white chocolate as the eyes of the Spiderman mask

Decorate all your strawberries in different ways and have fun!
