Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 32 Nutter Butter Cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces melting white chocolates
- 1 ounce melting chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare the workspace: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and arrange the Nutter Butter cookies on it to keep them ready for dipping.
- Melt the white chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the white candy coating or melting white chocolates in 30 second intervals, stirring after each interval until the chocolate is completely smooth and melted.
- Dip the cookies: Dip each Nutter Butter cookie halfway into the melted white chocolate or spoon the coating over the top to create a ghostly shape. Shake off any excess coating gently to avoid a thick layer. Place the coated cookies on the prepared cookie sheet.
- Add the facial features: Before the chocolate sets, use a piping bag filled with melted dark chocolate to pipe small dots for the ghost’s eyes and mouth, creating different expressions for variety.
- Set the cookies: Allow the coated cookies to cool and harden completely on the wax paper-lined cookie sheet or on a rack, which usually takes about 5 minutes.
Notes
- Use the whole package of Nutter Butter cookies, which is typically 32 cookies in a standard 16 oz package.
- White almond bark or white candy coating melts smoothly and hardens quickly, making it ideal for this recipe.
- Tapping each dipped cookie lightly helps remove excess chocolate for a cleaner finish.
- Add personality by making ghosts with varied expressions like scared, surprised, or silly faces.
- Store dipped cookies in an airtight container with layers of wax paper between them to keep fresh for up to 5 days.
