I made these at Christmas time also, as snowmen. We added a frosting scarf and a little dab of orange frosting for the nose.<\/p>","CommentId":14,"DateRated":"10\/12\/2010 20:54","GUID":"384204B9BF4942418A528BE97841CFEC","MemberId":1405412,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"teril56","SubmittedDate":"10\/12\/2010 20:54"},{"Comment":"

Try using a lollipop stick in the peanut butter filling then spooning the white candy coating over the cookie...much easier than trying to dip the cookies then trying to cover your fingerprints and the candy coating won't melt on your fingers!<\/p>","CommentId":15,"DateRated":"10\/12\/2010 18:06","GUID":"cc0a010b149f42e48fa4f0ccac2dd917","MemberId":3938169,"Rating":4,"ScreenName":"vickisp","SubmittedDate":"10\/12\/2010 18:06"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":16,"DateRated":"10\/12\/2010 13:04","GUID":"B972FCBBD9EB4B13B5578037431EF6C9","MemberId":4386763,"Rating":0,"ScreenName":"caron","SubmittedDate":"10\/12\/2010 13:04"},{"Comment":"

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!<\/p>","CommentId":19,"DateRated":"10\/29\/2009 07:39","GUID":"7b54a80f0b1d43ca9741eff64b351445","MemberId":2915647,"Rating":2,"ScreenName":"eazahn","SubmittedDate":"10\/29\/2009 07:39"},{"Comment":"

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!<\/p>","CommentId":20,"DateRated":"10\/27\/2009 19:53","GUID":"0a8800f8268f4ca9bc541fa8128b1180","MemberId":1857245,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"MsNancy589","SubmittedDate":"10\/27\/2009 19:53"},{"Comment":"","CommentId":21,"DateRated":"10\/24\/2009 14:17","GUID":"1298410140574842bfaeccbf112be76b","MemberId":4530131,"Rating":5,"ScreenName":"katylady","SubmittedDate":"10\/24\/2009 14:17"},{"Comment":"

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.

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!
