These adorable ghost-shaped Nutter Butter cookies are incredibly easy to make and perfect for a fun Halloween treat!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
  • 1 cup white melting candies
  • 24 decorative candy eyes
  • 12 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with wax paper.
  2. Place the wax paper-lined baking sheet aside.
  3. Place white melting candies in a small microwave-safe bowl.
  4. Microwave the candies in 30-second intervals at 50% power.
  5. Stir the candies between each interval to promote even melting.
  6. Continue heating and stirring for about 4-5 minutes, or until smooth.
  7. Hold one Nutter Butter sandwich cookie.
  8. Dip the cookie into the melted white candies, covering about 70-75% of it.
  9. Allow excess candy coating to drip off the cookie.
  10. Gently tap the cookie against the side of the bowl if needed.
  11. While the white candy coating is still wet, press two decorative candy eyes onto the upper coated part of the cookie.
  12. Press one mini semi-sweet chocolate chip onto the upper coated part of the cookie to create a ghost mouth.
  13. Place the decorated cookie onto the wax-paper-lined baking sheet.
  14. Repeat dipping and decorating with the remaining Nutter Butter cookies.
  15. Let the cookies set on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes.
  16. Serve once the candy coating has hardened.

Notes

Melt candy melts slowly at 50% power to prevent scorching.
Work quickly when adding decorations, as the candy sets fast.
If candy thickens, microwave for 15-20 seconds and stir.
Use wax paper for easy removal of cookies.
