Ingredients
Scale
- 12 Nutter Butter cookies
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 24 candy eyeballs
- 12 mini chocolate chips (for mouths, optional)
- Parchment paper
- Baking sheets
- Dipping tools (fork, toothpicks)
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace: Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Gather all ingredients and tools.
- Melt white candy melts: Place white candy melts in a deep, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until smooth and fluid. Alternatively, use a double boiler.
- Dip cookies: Hold a Nutter Butter cookie and fully submerge it in the melted white chocolate. Lift, gently tapping to allow excess chocolate to drip off, ensuring a smooth, even coating.
- Decorate eyes: While the white chocolate is still wet, immediately place two candy eyeballs onto the upper third of each dipped cookie to create eyes.
- Set ghosts: Carefully transfer the dipped and decorated cookie to the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat for all cookies, leaving space between each. Place the sheets in a cool area or refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the chocolate is completely set.
- Add mouths (optional): Melt the mini chocolate chips. Using a toothpick or small piping bag, carefully draw little mouths onto the set ghosts.
- Store: Once fully set, store your Nutty Nutter Butter Ghosts in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1-2 weeks. If your kitchen is warm, refrigerate and bring to room temperature before serving.
Notes
- For extra nutty flavor, sprinkle finely crushed roasted peanuts over the wet white chocolate before it sets.
- If using white chocolate chips instead of candy melts, you may need to add a tablespoon of shortening or coconut oil to achieve the right dipping consistency.
- Ensure all tools and bowls are completely dry when melting chocolate to prevent seizing.
