Ingredients
- 12 Peanut butter sandwich cookies like Nutter Butter
- 1 cup white candy melts
- 24 Candy Eyeballs
- 12 mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a small microwave safe mixing bowl, melt the white candy melts. Heat in the microwave at 50% power level or the defrost mode for another 30 seconds. Stir and then repeat for another 30 seconds and stir again. Repeat again until the candy has melted completely.
- Dip each cookie into the melted candy covering approximately 70-75% of the cookie. Tap the cookie lightly on the side of the bowl to remove any excess if necessary.
- Immediately press 2 candy eyeballs and a chocolate chip for the mouth into the candy while it's still soft.
- Let them set for about 5-10 minutes for the coating to set.

Notes
- Store leftovers at room temperature in an airtight container or in a plastic bag with a layer of parchment paper between them for up to 5 days.
- You can freeze these cookies in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks. Thaw at room temperature.
- You can also use a double boiler on the stovetop if you'd like. Just be careful not to get water in the candy or it may seize and be unusable.
- Use different color candy melts. Orange, green, purple and dark chocolate candy melts to create a ghostly rainbow of treats.
- If your candy melts get too thick, add a teaspoon of vegetable oil or coconut oil to thin them out.
