How to Make Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies
A printable recipe card is at the end of the post.
Makes 16 cookies.
Ingredients
- 8 ounces vanilla candy coating or white melting chocolate
- 8 ounces Nutter Butter cookies (about half the package of the family size)
- 1 tablespoon mini chocolate chips
Directions
Step 1
Melt the white chocolate candy coating according to the package directions.
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the melted candy coating into a small zip-top bag and set aside. You may want to place the bag in warm water to keep the candy from getting hard and setting.
Step 2
Dip one side of each Nutter Butter cookie in the melted white candy coating, but only dip about 2/3 of the way, leaving 1/3 without a candy coating at the bottom.
Place the dipped cookies on a wire rack to allow any excess candy to drip away.
Step 3
Use scissors to trim a very tiny bit from one corner of the plastic bag that contains the melted candy coating. This will make a simple piping bag.
Before the candy coating sets, make your ghosts by piping a little of the candy coating in a squiggly line along the bottom edge of the dipped portion of the cookie to make the ghosts appear to be floating on the cookie.
Step 4
Next, use mini chocolate chips to create eyes and a mouth on each cookie.
Allow the candy coating to set at room temperature and to harden before serving.
Helpful Tips
- It is easy to double this batch to serve a larger crowd.
- Candy eyes, such as mini M&Ms or miniature candy eyes, can be used instead of chocolate chips.
- These ghost cookies are perfect for a Boo Box!
