Description

Spooky Nutter Butter ghosts float deliciously through Halloween’s playful spirit, offering sweet spectral charm. Crisp white chocolate coating and adorable ghost faces create a haunting dessert perfect for seasonal celebrations you’ll absolutely adore.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients:

  • 15 Nutter Butter Cookies
  • 1 package (12 ounces / 340 grams) White Candy Melts

Decorative Ingredients:

  • 15 Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips (for mouths)
  • 30 Mini Chocolate Chips (for eyes)

Instructions

  1. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper, creating a smooth surface for decorating.
  2. Transfer white candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short 30-second bursts and stirring thoroughly between intervals until completely smooth and liquid.
  3. Carefully submerge each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted white coating, ensuring total coverage by gently turning with a fork, then delicately transfer to the prepared parchment-lined sheet.
  4. Working quickly before the candy coating solidifies, strategically place two mini chocolate chips as ghostly eyes and one regular chocolate chip to form a spooky mouth on each spectral cookie.
  5. Allow the decorated treats to rest undisturbed at room temperature, permitting the white candy coating to fully crystallize and harden, which typically takes approximately 10-15 minutes.
  6. Once completely set, gently lift the ghostly Nutter Butter treats from the parchment paper and arrange on a festive serving platter, ready to delight Halloween party guests.

Notes

  • Melt candy coating gently to prevent burning, stirring frequently during microwave intervals for smooth consistency.
  • Use room temperature cookies to ensure even candy coating and prevent cracking.
  • Position chocolate chips quickly while candy coating remains wet for clean, crisp ghost facial features.
  • Store completed ghosts in cool, dry place to maintain crisp white appearance and prevent melting.
