I made these for my niece's 8th b-day party which always has a Halloween theme. They were so simple, quick and easy to make.

Made these last night with my daughter. We had a great time making them. We've tasted a few and who doesn't love nutter butter cookies, and dip them in white chocolate??? Fantastic! I'm going to pick up more cookies and coating tonight as I'm afraid we won't have enough for her whole class since my hubby and kids love them so much!

Made these for our Halloween party - all kids (young and old) loved them. They are easy to make, however, I also inserted a toothpick into the cookie filling and then dipped into the candy coating. Will make again!

These are the perfect Halloween treat. The children (and their parents) look forward to receiving them every year.

Been making these for years!

I found the easiest way to coat the cookies is to stick a toothpick into the filling and dip it using that. Not so much on the fingers that way and no tell-tale signs on the cookies where you had to patch the coating. Lois @ Joy IL

These little ghosts are fantastic and easy to make. While it's a little difficult to coat the entire cookie, this recipe is rather simple and takes no time at all! This is one recipe that is usually on my list for the Halloween season.
