Easy Peanut Butter Ghost Cookies Ingredients:

Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Sandwich Cookies: 12 cookies – these serve as the base of your ghostly treats.
White Chocolate: 6 ounces – melted, for coating the cookies.
Black Cookie Icing: 1 tube – for drawing the ghost faces.
Candy Eyeballs: 24 pieces – for adding the spooky eyes to your ghost cookies.
Parchment Paper: 1 sheet – for lining the tray and preventing sticking.

How to Make Easy Peanut Butter Ghost Cookies:

Melt the White Chocolate: Place 6 ounces of white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler to melt the chocolate.
Prepare the Cookies: Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
Coat the Cookies: Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted white chocolate, covering one side completely. Gently shake off any excess chocolate and place the cookie on the parchment-lined tray.
Add the Eyes: While the white chocolate is still soft, place two candy eyeballs on each cookie to create the ghost’s eyes.
Draw the Ghost Faces: Once the white chocolate has set slightly but is still tacky, use black cookie icing to draw ghost mouths on each cookie. Create simple expressions for a fun and spooky look.
Set the Cookies: Refrigerate the cookies for about 15-20 minutes to allow the white chocolate to fully set and harden.
Serve: Arrange the easy peanut butter ghost cookies on a serving platter and enjoy!

Possible Substitutions:

For a different flavor, you can use milk or dark chocolate instead of white chocolate.
If you don’t have candy eyeballs, you can use mini chocolate chips or create eyes with the black cookie icing.
Make sure the white chocolate isn’t too hot when coating the cookies to prevent melting them.
For added fun, sprinkle some edible glitter or colored sugar on the cookies before the white chocolate sets.
