Ghost Covered Cookies

Ghost Covered Cookies are such a fun little Halloween project. Start by piping the dark chocolate faces into the ghost mold, then add white chocolate and a Halloween Oreo to build each cookie. Once they’re set, a quick spray of edible shimmer gives them the perfect spooky finish for parties, favor bags, or a Halloween dessert table.

Flavor Profile

These have a sweet, creamy white chocolate shell with a crunchy Oreo center. The dark chocolate face adds a little deeper chocolate flavor, while the cookie gives each bite that familiar chocolate-and-cream combo.

Why You’ll Love This Recipe

• Halloween Oreos give the center a fun seasonal touch.

The Twist

The edible glitter spray is the twist, giving each ghost an eerie glow that makes the white chocolate look a little more spooky and a lot more fun for Halloween.

Ingredient Highlights

• Halloween Oreos: These add a seasonal center, but regular Oreos will work too.

• Dark chocolate melts: Use these for piping the eyes and mouth directly into the mold.
• Edible glitter spray: A light mist adds shimmer once the cookies are fully set and back at room temperature.

• 1 bag Ghirardelli white chocolate melts
• 1 package Halloween Oreos
• Iridescent edible glitter spray

Supplies

• Piping bottle

Instructions

1. Set the ghost mold on a flat surface.
2. Melt about 1/4 of the bag of dark chocolate melts according to the package directions. Transfer the melted chocolate to a piping bottle.
3. Pipe the chocolate into the eyes and mouths of each ghost. Refrigerate for about 15 minutes, or until completely set.
4. Melt the white chocolate melts according to the package directions.
5. Fill each ghost cavity about halfway with white chocolate. Place one Halloween Oreo in the center, then cover with more white chocolate until the cavity is full.
6. Gently tap the mold against the counter to release any air bubbles. If the Oreos begin to rise, gently press them back into the chocolate.
7. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the chocolate is completely firm.
8. Carefully remove the ghost cookies from the mold and let them come to room temperature.
9. Lightly spray each ghost with iridescent edible glitter spray.
10. Place each Ghost Covered Cookie in a favor bag and tie with Halloween ribbon.

FAQ

Can I use regular Oreos?

Yes. Halloween Oreos add an extra seasonal detail, but regular Oreos will work the same way.

Do I have to use Ghirardelli melts?

No. You can use another brand of melting wafers or candy melts as long as they melt smoothly.

Why do the faces need to set first?

Letting the dark chocolate set before adding the white chocolate helps keep the eyes and mouth defined instead of blending into the rest of the ghost.

What should I do if the Oreos float up?

Gently press them back down with a knife into the chocolate before refrigerating the mold.

How should I store them?

Store the finished cookies in an airtight container in a cool place. If your kitchen is warm, you can refrigerate them and let them come back to room temperature before serving.

Sprinkle of Fun

Make these for a Halloween party and package each one in a favor bag with themed ribbon. They’re a fun little treat guests can take home at the end of the night.
