Ingredients You’ll Need for Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies

• Mini chocolate chips – To make tiny ghost eyes and mouths.

How to Make Nutter Butter Ghosts (No Bake!)

1. Melt the chocolate: Place white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth and glossy. (Pro tip: add a teaspoon of coconut oil for an extra-smooth coating.)
   
2. Dip the cookies: Hold each cookie by one end and dip it into the melted chocolate. Use a fork to help coat it evenly.
   
3. Make the faces: While the coating is still soft, press on two mini chocolate chips for eyes and one for the mouth.
   
4. Let them set: Place the dipped cookies on parchment or wax paper and let them cool until the coating hardens. (Speed things up by popping them in the fridge!)
