Ingredients
- 1 package peanut butter sandwich cookies we used Nutter Butter which has 32 cookies
- 1 package almond bark or white candy melts
- 64 candy eyes
- 1 black food writing pen
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl that is microwave safe, melt your white almond bark according to the directions on the package. I melted about half the block of almond bark (extra for the mummy cookies). Once it is completely melted and smooth it is ready to use. Have your nutter butters out and prepared for the next step.
- Step 2: For the ghost cookies, dip half of the cookie into the white chocolate. I try to get both sides dipped and when I take it out I put it right side up and I let some of the white chocolate drip to get the ghost effect. Place on a cookie sheet or plate with parchment paper and add the candy eyes.
- Step 3: However, for the mummy cookies, drop the whole cookie into the bowl and cover it all with the melted chocolate. Usually I use a fork to pick it up, then tap a few times on the side of the bowl to get rid of excess chocolate and to give it a nice smooth look on top. Place on parchment paper with your ghost cookies and add the candy eyes at the top ish of the cookie.
- Step 4: Pop your mummy/ghost cookies into the fridge until completely cooled and harden. I would leave it in for about 15 minutes then just check just then with placing your finger on top to see if gooey or harden.
- Step 5: Once thoroughly cooled, use whatever access white chocolate you have left or microwave some more. Pour the remaining white chocolate into a zip lock bag. Zip up the bag with no air in it and cut a very tiny hole at the corner where all the chocolate is. Test to see if it is a good pouring consistently and the hole is big enough (you can also do this whole process with a piping bag if that is easier). Once it looks good drizzle all over the fully covered chocolate cookie avoiding the eyes. (For an easier tutorial check out the video at the bottom). For the ghost draw on a black ghost oval mouth with the black food safe pen.
- Step 6: Put back in the fridge again for about 10 minutes to let the mummies harden and enjoy!! Now you have the perfect Halloween treat to share with friends and family. Store them in an airtight container or a zip top bag at room temperature or in the fridge for a week!
Notes
How do I store these spooky cookies? Store these in a zip lock bag, an airtight container, or in a dish covered with plastic wrap at room temperature/the fridge for up to a week.
How can I drizzle on the white chocolate easily? Try to practice on some of the extra remaining cookies. Slightly hold the bag in your hand and let the chocolate drizzle out itself. Practicing a few times on the other cookies will make it easier.
If you don't have Nutter Butter cookies, you could make mummy Milanos. Now that's a tasty cookie!
