Spooky Chocolate Ghosts

October 30, 2008 By Spoonful of Sugar - 22 Comments

This week at Girl Guides I made these white chocolate ghosts.

Ingredients:

White Chocolate

Chocolate chips

Popsticks 

Start by melting the white chocolate, then spoon a few spoonfuls of chocolate on to aluminium foil and shape like a ghost. Then place a popstick on it and cover with extra chocolate. Finish by adding two chocolate chips for eyes.

These are great to give to trick or treaters and are very easy.

Yesterday I made some of my own only using milk chocolate because I prefer it. I call them ‘dirty’ ghosts.

    what a creative idea. I’d prefer the dirty ghosts too. Those are so cute, I really will have to try it, if the chocolate lasts that long. I might just eat it first haha.

    Cool! My son will love this idea. Although he would have to have them in dark chocolate to avoid too much dairy. I guess those would be VERY dirty ghosts LOL

A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun look A lot can change in 10 years ❤️ It’s been fun looking back at where I was in 2016 and how far life has come since then. Swipe for a little trip down memory lane.Back in 2016, my priorities were firmly centred around family. I was working full‑time, sewing in the guest room, sharing tutorials on my blog, and slowly dipping my toes into selling a handful of patterns on Etsy. It was a busy, full season — and creativity was something I fitted in around everything else.  Fast forward to 2026… I’m now retired and living the creative life I once dreamed of. My kids have grown up and are living in their own homes nearby. My husband and I are free to travel, explore, and enjoy this stage of life. And I get to spend my days designing, sewing, and connecting with this beautiful community.Life looks different now — in the best possible way.Were you following me back then, or what has changed for you over the past 10 years? I’d love to hear your story too.Tagging the lovely makers of my quilt: @arabesquescissors @ministryoffabric @belloquacity @alittlepatchwork @sameliasmum coleandtaffy @quiltymamaof4 @shequiltsalot @downgrapevinelane @lizzierosesews @lovethatfabric @sew_mimi.k #2026isthenew2016 #10yeartransformation #sewingjourney #sewingcommunity #aspoonfulofsugardesigns
