Equipment Needed:

Candy Melting Pot or Microwave Safe Bowl
Parchment Paper

🥣 Recipe Tips

Melt Chocolate Gently for Smoothness: Use short 30-second microwave intervals, stirring well between each, to prevent scorching the white chocolate. For extra silkiness, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil to the melting chocolate—this helps it coat the cookies evenly without seizing.
Remove Excess Chocolate Efficiently: After dipping, tap the fork handle firmly against the bowl’s edge (not too hard, to avoid cracking the cookie) to shake off drips, ensuring a clean ghost shape. Place on parchment-lined sheets immediately to avoid pooling.
Act Fast on Eyes for Best Adhesion: Have candy eyes ready and press them on while the chocolate is still tacky (within 10-20 seconds of placing the cookie down). If using mini chips or piped chocolate, work quickly to mimic eyes before the coating sets, creating that cute, spooky face.

How to make Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies:

Melt the chocolate by adding it to a Wilton melting pot, set the temperature to melt for about 10 minutes. After the chocolate is melted change the temperature setting to warm prior to dipping cookies.

If you don’t have a melting pot you can melt it in the microwave if you are careful. Place your white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and thoroughly melted.

Dip each cookie in the melted chocolate and flip it to coat both sides. Remove the cookie with a fork and lightly tap the handle of the fork with your finger to help the excess chocolate drip off. Place each coated cookie onto the parchment paper. Before the chocolate hardens, gently press two candy eyes on the top of the cookie to make these nutter butter halloween cookies.

Allow the nutter butter ghost cookies to cool and set before serving your cute Halloween ghost cookies. These Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies will have you screaming for more.
