Ingredients
  

  • 12 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
  • 1 cup white melting candies
  • 24 decorative candy eyes
  • 12 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions
 

  • Line a baking sheet with a piece of wax paper. This will provide you with a surface to place the dipped cookies on so they can harden properly before serving.
  • In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the white melting candies. Heat them in the microwave in 30-second intervals at 50% power, stirring between each interval to promote even melting. This process should take about 4-5 minutes. Be careful not to overheat or burn the candy melts. I like to keep an eye on them and stir a little extra to ensure they stay silky smooth.
  • Hold each Nutter Butter sandwich cookie and dip it into the melted white candies, covering about 70-75% of the cookie so that the bottom remains exposed. Allow excess candy coating to drip off, gently tapping the cookie against the side of the bowl if needed.
  • While the white candy coating is still wet, press two decorative candy eyes and one mini semi-sweet chocolate chip onto the upper coated part of each cookie to create a ghost face.
  • Place each decorated cookie onto the wax-paper-lined baking sheet. Let the cookies set for 5-10 minutes, allowing the candy coating to harden before serving. This brief wait ensures the decorations stay in place and gives you perfectly set treats ready to enjoy!
