Ingredients
- 12 Nutter Butter Cookies
- 1 cup White candy melts Wilton or Ghirardelli brand
- 24 Candy eyeballs
- 12 Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preparation:
- Prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Keep cookies, candy eyeballs, and mini chocolate chips ready before you melt the candy melts.
Melt Candy Melts:
- Use either a microwave method or a double boiler.
- Microwave Method: - Pour candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl.- Heat the them in the microwave at 50% power, or on a defrost setting, for 30 seconds.- Stir the candies thoroughly.- Continue to microwave the candies at the same low setting in 15-30 second intervals, stirring in between each interval, until the candy is almost melted.
- Double Boiler Method:- Fill a small saucepan with 1-inch water. Bring it to a gentler simmer.- Place a heat-proof bowl on top (make sure water is not touching the bottom of the bowl).- Pour the candy melts in it. Keep stirring until it is melted. If the bowl gets too hot then remove it from the saucepan and keep stirring, residue heat is enough to melt the remaining candy melts.
Assemble Ghost Cookies:
- Dip each Nutter Butter halfway into the melted candy. Let the excess candy melt drip back into the bowl.
- Place them on the baking sheet and attach two candy eyeballs and a chocolate chip to the mouth while the coating is still wet.
- Allow them to set for a couple of hours. Then these nutter butter ghost cookies are ready to enjoy.
Notes
- If your candy melts are too thick or set too quickly, consider adding a teaspoon of vegetable shortening or coconut oil to achieve the desired dipping consistency.
- Always melt candy in intervals, stirring in between. This prevents overheating and maintains a smooth consistency.
- Ensure no water comes into contact with the candy melts. Even a small amount can cause it to seize and turn lumpy.
- It's essential to place the candy eyeballs and chocolate chip mouths while the candy melt coating is still wet to ensure they adhere well.
