Tips for Dipping Cookies in Melted Chocolate

• Use high-quality chocolate, such as melting wafers or chocolate almond bark, that melts smoothly. You're going to want to use a white chocolate since we're trying to create "ghosts."
• Heat the chocolate slowly so it doesn't scorch!
• Melt the chocolate properly using either the microwave or a double boiler. Make sure no water gets into the chocolate as you're melting it.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat to place the dipped cookies on. Do not lay the cookies with melted chocolate directly onto a cooling/baking rack. The cookies will stick.
• Hold the cookie firmly and dip it into the melted chocolate, making sure about ¾ of the cookie is dipped. Use a fork or dipping tool to lift the cookie out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
• Allow the cookies to completely dry before adding the melted chocolate eyes. If you're going to use mini chocolate chips for eyes, add them as soon as they've been dipped in the white chocolate and are laying on the parchment paper.

Ingredients

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Heat the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second increments, stirring between each interval. Once the chocolate is about 90% melted, stir until it's smooth. Dip almost ¾ of each cookie in the melted chocolate. Place on parchment paper for them to set.

Step 2: Melt the dark chocolate and place in a piping bag. Pipe ghost faces on the cookies and allow the chocolate to set.

Storing and Freezing Tips

Pantry: Store these chocolate dipped cookies in an airtight container on the counter for up to a week. If it's warm in your home, you may want to store them in the refrigerator.

Freezer: Flash freeze the cookies in a single layer, then add to a zip top freezer bag or air-tight container to freeze for up to 3 months.

Top Recipe Tip

Heat the chocolate in 30 second increments in the microwave so it melts slowly and doesn't scorch.

Method

 

1. Melt the white chocolate in a large microwave safe bowl. Heat in 30 second increments and stir well between each interval. Continue to heat and stir until white chocolate is about 90% melted and stir until smooth. Do no over-heat the white chocolate or it will scorch and be ruined.
2. Dip the Nutter Butter cookies until about ¾ of the cookie is covered in white chocolate. Tip the bowl if needed to make it easier to dip. Place on parchment paper and allow to set for about 10 minutes. Continue with the remaining cookies.
3. Once the white chocolate is set and all the Nutter Butters have been dipped, melt the dark chocolate. Place the chocolate in a microwave safe bowl and heat in 30 second increments and stir well between each interval. Once the chocolate is smooth, transfer to a piping bag or zip top bag and snip off a small hole in the tip of the bag.
4. Pipe a ghost face on each cookie. Allow to cool and set again for an additional 10-15 minutes.
5. Enjoy!

Notes

• If you can't find Nutter Butter Peanut Butter Cookies or can't have peanut butter, you can use any other cookie that has a long oblong oval shape such as Vienna Finger Cookies or Milano Cookies.

• If you don't want to use melted chocolate for the eyes, you can use mini chocolate chips! Add them right after placing the dipped ghosts onto the parchment paper.
