Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 32 Nutter Butter cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces melting white chocolate
- 1 ounce melting chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare Cookies: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and arrange the Nutter Butter cookies on it.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white candy coating or white chocolate in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Cookies: Dip each Nutter Butter cookie halfway into the melted white chocolate or spoon the coating over the tops to create a ghostly shape. Gently shake off excess chocolate before placing the cookies back onto the prepared cookie sheet.
- Add Faces: Before the white chocolate sets, use a piping bag to pipe small dots of melted chocolate for the ghosts’ eyes and mouths to give each ghost personality.
- Set Coating: Allow the coated cookies to set completely on a rack or on the wax paper-lined cookie sheet until the chocolate is firm.
Notes
- Use a 16 oz package of Nutter Butters that contains about 32 cookies for this recipe.
- White almond bark or white candy coating melts smoothly and hardens quickly, making it ideal for dipping.
- Tap each cookie gently to remove excess coating before drying to prevent a mess and uneven coating.
- Make your ghost cookies fun by varying their facial expressions—scared, surprised, or silly.
- Store dipped cookies in an airtight container between layers of wax paper for up to 5 days to maintain freshness.
