Ingredients
  

  • 16 oz Nutter Butter cookies family-size package
  • 16 oz Vanilla candy coating or other melting white chocolate
  • ¼ cup Mini chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Melt the white chocolate candy coating according to the package directions. Scoop about 1/3 cup 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 setting up).
  • Dip one side of each Nutter Butter cookie in the melted white candy coating. For ghosts, only dip about 2/3 of the one side, leaving 1/3 un-dipped at the bottom. Place the dipped cookies on a wire rack to allow any excess candy to drip away.
  • 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 using the piping bag to pipe a little of the candy coating along the bottom edge of the dipped portion of the cookie to make the ghosts appear to be floating on the cookie. You want a wavy edge effect - not a perfect line.
  • Next, use mini chocolate chips to create eyes and a mouth on each ghost cookie.
  • Allow cookies to set 15 minutes without being disturbed.
