Check in below for a special prize for one lucky commenter!
There’s nothing like a lot of baking around Halloween to put fear in the heart of a busy mom. :)
Yes, there are Halloween parties, Halloween festivals, Halloween-themed events for Scouts…and a scary lack of time!
What’s a mom to do?
No bake Halloween cookies!
Nutter Butter Ghost Cookies
These cute ghosts will really make your little goblins smile. And with only three ingredients and hardly any prep time, you’ll be smiling right along with them.
You’ll need:
White chocolate (melted in the microwave or double boiler)**
Mini chocolate chips
Nutter Butter brand cookies
Parchment paper (to dry the cookies on)
Dip the Nutter Butter cookies into the melted white chocolate
Let cool a little, then put the chocolate chip eyes on
Dry on Parchment paper
**One 6 oz package of white chocolate will decorate about 18 cookies.
Boo!
And now for today’s prize! One lucky commenter will receive the Halloween Cookie Shapes Non Stick Pan.
For when you do have time to bake cookies! (Which, in my household, won’t be until after Halloween! :) )
A winner will be announced tonight at midnight. Happy Halloween!

ReplyDeleteSweet ghosts! Don't know why lately, but Marc and I have been enjoying white chocolate even more than dark. What a fun, fast recipe for Halloween. And your cookie pan prize is adorable. Good luck to all the commenters!

There is nothing I like more than dessert in the blink of an eye. This reminds me of the fruit and nut clusters I make when I'm desperate for chocolate: Throw a handful of white and semisweet chocolate morsels into a large mug. Microwave for a minute until starting to melt; stir. Toss in dry roasted peanuts and raisins; mix thoroughly. Drop by tablespoon onto waxed paper in heaps, let dry. Done!
ReplyDeleteThose ghosts are so adorable! The cookie pan is super cute too~
ReplyDeleteNurseJudyMac55--Hope you'll enjoy them! Easy is nice, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteCleo--We've been eating a lot of white chocolate here, too. Don't know why, but I'm enjoying it!
Pattie @ Olla Podrida--Yum! That's a great recipe, Pattie! Thanks for sharing it. I like the idea of having all the mess confined to a mug! And peanuts and raisins are so tasty. :)
suiling_kwong--Aren't they cuties? Of course, you could doll them up even more with some chocolate gel, but I sort of like them as-is. :)
Love the look! So easy... I have been known to do this with Oreos, and I really like to take a couple of ritz crackers, little peanut butter in between and dip in butterscotch bark.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween
What a great idea - they're so cute! I can't remember the last time I had Nutter Butters. Now I have an excuse to get a pack!
ReplyDeleteThose are so cute!
ReplyDeleteHa! These are too fun! Donald is a nut Nutter Butters. And I'm wild about that cookie pan!
ReplyDeleteQuite, simple and yummy. What a combination. These would be great wrapped in the little ghost bags to give out as treats at a Halloween party. Thanks for the great tip.

That is such a great idea and looks so easy. I'm on Halloween party duty for my son's class and will have to bake cookies for a concession stand at the Halloween carnival. These would be great.
ReplyDeleteI love Nutterbutters. And these are much easier than the witch's hats I usually make.
ReplyDeleteYou can also decorate Twinkies with Frosting to be ghosts,mummies and even a Frankenstein. I also like to melt white chocolate in a bowl and toss in popcorn,rasins and candy corn and spread on wax paper. Once it dries break it up and place in cute Halloween bag, kids and adults will love it! Ps I you are now at Barnes and Noble in Dothan,AL. and will soon be making your debut in my Enterprise,AL library.:)
ReplyDeleteI love that this is simple to make.
ReplyDeleteVery easy and cute. Love the pan- so many ideas.
ReplyDeleteOh, how cute. Love these. And it doesn't get much better than chocolate and pb. Yum!
ReplyDeleteThose are adorable.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice and simple recipe. Ethan will like this as he loves white chocolate more then any other chocolate. He isn't a sweets person much, but once I show him this he will want us to make it. I bet my little one will love it too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThe World of Book Reviews
Yum. And SO clever. The dudes will enjoy making them as much as eating them!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! It would be kind of fun, I think, to make a whole tray of easy treats - Nutterbutter Ghosts, chocolate dipped marshmallows (roll the bottoms in finely-chopped peanuts or walnuts, if you want), any-chocolate-dipped Oreos with jack-o-lantern faces, butterscotch fruit-and-nut haystacks--all of these quick ideas on one tray. I just might do it. The kids would love it.
ReplyDeleteHow cute. What a great, quick idea for school parties and bake sales.
ReplyDelete~ Krista
What a cute and easy idea!

That is the coolest Halloween cookie pan! Would love to win it!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely GREAT idea! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteHeather

ReplyDelete~Avery
What a great idea! You're so clever. Thanks for the tip.
ReplyDeleteA Year on the Grill--I like the idea of doing it with oreos! Cool, Dave.
ReplyDeleteIngrid--I LOVE Nutter Butters! For some reason, they don't seem as decadent as other cookies. I'm sure they are, though!
BrownEyedGirl--Thanks!
Kaye--Sounds like a good match for y'all to eat one night!
Mason--I think they'd make nice little treat bag treats, for sure.
shakyteach--The nice thing is that a bag of white chocolate goes pretty far---so it wouldn't be a very expensive treat. :)
Bookwoman--Although witches hats would be fun, too!
Jennie--Yum!!! I grew up eating Twinkies EVERY day in my lunchbox. :) That sounds like the perfect thing for me to try next. Thanks so much for letting me know about Dothan and Enterprise! I used to live in Birmingham--Vestavia area. Great place, AL. :)
Dru--VERY simple! Perfect for such a busy time of year.
Christine--Thanks so much!
Julie--It's the perfect combination, isn't it?
Erin--Thanks!
~ Babs ~Sometimes white chocolate is nice for a change, isn't it?
Jenn--Your dudes will love these! They can even make a Charlie Brown ghost...with too many eye holes! Remember that from the cartoon?
Laineshots--Visually, it would be REALLY cool. The kids would love them--and they'd be easy to make!
Krista--Perfect for the school stuff!
Jen--Thanks so much!
PoCoKat--Fingers crossed!

These ghosts are adorable and I sure appreciate how easy they are! At are school there are often over 30 kids in one class.
ReplyDeleteJanel--The class sizes are getting crazy, aren't they? This is an easy fix!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree with lack of time. It seems as though everyday next week my kids have something planned. As for the Nutter Butter ghosts I have also made them as snowmen at christmas with mini m&m s.
ReplyDeletePoser--What a cool idea! Love the thought of having them be snowmen with M&M buttons. :)
ReplyDeleteI love this recipe! I can't wait to make them ~ this is awesome...thanks!
