- 8 ounces white chocolate chips, chopped up bar, or meltables
- 1 bag Orchard Choice California Golden Figs or Sun-Maid Golden Figs
- Candy eyes
Prepare a cutting board with a sheet of wax paper. Set the candy eyes nearby, along with the figs and a fork.
Melt the chocolate in a bowl—about 4 ounces—in the microwave in 30 second blasts, stirring with a fork afterwards until smooth. (If the chocolate cools too much and is difficult to coat the figs, warm up briefly in the microwave. Add and melt more chocolate as needed).
Tumble one of the figs into the chocolate—the chocolate should easily coat and cling to the fig. Use the fork to lift the fig out of the chocolate. Pinch the tip of the fig with your finger tips and place it, bottom down, onto the wax paper. Wipe your hands if needed on a paper towel. Place two eyeball candies on the fig.
Continue dipping and adding eyes to all the ghosts. Cool until set. Store in a covered container.
