Ingredients

This is a quick overview of the simple ingredients that you'll need to make epic Nutter Butter Ghosts! Specific measurements and step-by-step instructions are included in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post.

• Nutter Butters
• White Chocolate Chips/White Candy Melts
• Mini Chocolate Chips/Icing Pen/Candy eyeballs

Nutter Butters - You can also use peanut butter cookies. The goal is to get the shape of the ghost.

Equipment Needed

Large Mixing Bowl - We are big fans of this glass batter bowl that has a handle. It is large enough that you can dip the Nutter Butters without getting chocolate all over your hands. Make sure to use a microwave-safe bowl.

Baking Sheets - We are huge fans of these baking sheets with sides. They keep everything contained making it really easy to get everything cleaned up.

Parchment Paper -  I love that I can use parchment paper to help make clean-up a breeze. You can also use wax paper.

 

How to make Nutter Butter Ghosts

I've included complete instructions in the printable recipe card at the bottom of the post, but here's a quick version.

Step 1 - Gather all of the supplies and prep the baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2 - Melt candy melting wafers/almond bark in 30-second intervals making sure to stir after every interval.

Step 3 - Carefully dip the Nutter Butter Cookies into the white candy coating until ⅔ of the cookie is coated.

We hold the bottom of the Nutter Butter Halloween Ghost Cookies but you can insert a fork into the cookie and lower it into the bowl.

You can use a knife to remove the excess chocolate from the back of the coated cookie.

Place on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4 - Add Candy Eyeballs or add chocolate eyes and let the top layer set.
