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 beautiful new read + a sweet sewing project insp A beautiful new read + a sweet sewing project inspired by the Albi sisters.Thanks to @tesswoods_author and @penguinbooksaus for the advance copy of this captivating story.⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐I’ve just finished reading The Cairo Bridal Shop by local author Tess Woods — and it completely swept me away.Set at the foot of the pyramids, the Albi Bridal Shop is home to three sisters fighting to break tradition and shape their own futures. Inspired by ancient pharaoh queens, they draw on generations of women, culture, sacrifice, and resilience to find their strength.Tess calls this “the book of her heart,” weaving her family history into a story of sisterhood, identity, faith, strong women, and delicious Egyptian food.While reading, I kept thinking about the three Albi sisters — Sarah, Aya, and Lola — each navigating their own challenges, each fighting for the life she deserves.So I stitched three Heart Bookmarks, one to represent each sister. A tiny handmade nod to their courage, creativity, and connection.Each bookmark is made from quilting cotton, wool felt, lace, and a silky tassel — quick to sew, lovely to gift, and perfect for marking your place in a story full of strong women.I was completely captivated by The Cairo Bridal Shop. The relationships between the sisters are truly the heart of the story — tender, complicated, loyal, and full of resilience.I loved the structure: six dresses, each inspired by a Pharaoh queen, each opening a new chapter of their lives. The cultural details, the food, the history, the Cairo setting — it all felt vivid and immersive.A beautiful, emotional story of family, identity, courage, and the strength we find in the women around us.If you only read one book this year, make sure it is The Cairo Bridal Shop.If you’d like to stitch your own Heart Bookmark, the pattern is free.Comment BOOKMARK and I’ll send you the link.A sweet, quick project — perfect paired with a good book.Thanks for being here — I love sharing small sewing projects that bring joy to your day.
