Equipment

  • Zip-top plastic bag
  • Scissors
  • Wire Cooling rack
  • Parchment or wax paper

Ingredients

  • 16 oz vanilla candy coating or white melting chocolate
  • 16 oz Nutter Butter cookies (family-size package)
  • 2 tbsp mini chocolate chips or candy eyes
  • Mini M&Ms or Candy Eyeballs (optional)

Instructions

  • Melt the white chocolate candy coating according to package directions
  • Scoop about ⅓ cup into a small zip-top plastic bag and set aside (place the bag in warm water to keep it from hardening)
    A plastic piping bag placed in a glass is filled with white icing, ready for decorating Halloween cookies. Decorated cookies and a cooling rack are visible in the background.
  • Dip one side of each Nutter Butter into the melted coating

  • For ghosts, dip about ⅔ of the front side, leaving the bottom ⅓ uncovered

  • Let excess drip off on a wire rack

  • Snip a tiny corner off the zip-top bag to create a piping tip
  • For ghosts, pipe a small base at the bottom of the coated section to make them appear floating

  • Add mini chocolate chips for ghost faces (eyes and mouth), and just eyes for mummies

  • For mummies, once the coating is firm to the touch, pipe random lines across mummy cookies for bandages

Notes

  • Only use melting chocolate or candy coating (not chocolate chips or bars) for smooth results.
  • Work in small batches to prevent the candy coating from setting too fast.
  • Wait until the dipped layer is set before adding mummy "wrappings" for the best texture.
  • Swap chocolate chips for candy eyes if preferred.
