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.

They’re perfect for parties, school treats, or just a spooky snack at home!
