White Chocolate Halloween Ghosts
Ingredients
- 2 lbs White Melting Chocolate (White Almond Bark or Candy Coating)
- 4 oz White Sweet Baking Chocolate (such as Baker’s Premium White Chocolate Baking Bar)
- 2 cups White Chocolate Chips
- 16 oz Salted Dry Roasted Peanuts
- 16 oz Unsalted Dry Roasted Peanuts (or use all salted)
Decorations
- Candy Googly Eyes
- ¼ cup Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips (Howling Mouth)
Instructions
Prep
- Line 3 baking sheets with parchment (this recipe makes a lot!).
Melt the Chocolate
- ❗If kids are helping, use adult supervision as the melted chocolate is very hot!
- In a 5 qt or larger slow cooker, add the white melting chocolate, white sweet baking chocolate, and white chocolate chips. Put the lid on and set to LOW for 1-2 hours, stirring occasionally (you will want to check it to make sure it is not burning).
- When the chocolates are all soft and melted, stir to combine them.
Add the Nuts (or other add-ins)
- Add all of the nuts to the crock pot and stir them in well. Put the lid on and switch setting to Warm, or turn off the slow cooker (but leave the crock in the housing to stay warm).
Form the Ghosts
- Use a cookie scoop or a tablespoon, depending on how large you want your ghosts, and scoop small mounds onto the parchment paper. You can shape them a little to resemble ghosts.
Decorate
- Place the eyes on, and an upside down chocolate chip for the howling mouth.
- After you have used all of the mixture, Rinse your crock with hot water.
Let Them Set Up
- The candies will take about an hour to cool and set.
Storage
- When they are set, transfer to an airtight container and place wax paper or parchment between the layers.These keep well for a week or so, and are wonderful to give out to trick-or-treaters, or as Halloween party favors.

Hi, is it possible to do this without a crock pot? Maybe stovetop double boiler? Or glass heatproof bowl?
Yes, absolutely! Just heat gradually, don’t let the water touch the bowl, and stir to melt, adding the peanuts at the end.
