Ingredients
Scale
Cookies
- 32 Nutter Butter cookies
Chocolate Coating
- 12 ounces melting white chocolate
- 1 ounce melting chocolate
Instructions
- Prepare Workspace: Line a cookie sheet with wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking and allow the cookies to dry properly.
- Melt White Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each interval until completely smooth and creamy.
- Dip Cookies: Dip each Nutter Butter cookie halfway into the melted white chocolate or spoon the coating over the tops to create a ghost shape, then shake gently to remove excess chocolate.
- Decorate Faces: Before the coating sets, use a piping bag filled with melted dark chocolate to pipe small dots for the eyes and a mouth on each cookie, giving each ghost a unique expression.
- Set Cookies: Allow the coated cookies to dry and harden completely on the lined cookie sheet or a cooling rack before handling or storing.
Notes
- Use white almond bark or white candy coating for a smooth finish that hardens quickly.
- Gently tap off any excess chocolate after dipping to avoid thick, uneven coating.
- Customize ghost faces with different expressions for added fun and personality.
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container between layers of wax paper to prevent sticking, up to 5 days.
- Ensure cookies are completely set before stacking or packaging to maintain shape.
