These sweet ghost cookies are made with vanilla almond bark (white melting candy) and are so very cute for Halloween! 

Editor's Note: For this recipe we used Nutter Butter peanut butter sandwich cookies. If you don't like peanut butter, or are serving guests that may have peanut allergies, you can use other types of oval shaped cookies such as Milano's (chocolate filled) or Vienna Fingers (vanilla filled) sandwich cookies.

Ingredients:

Nutter Butter cookies
Vanilla almond bark, white chocolate, or vanilla melting candy
Semi-sweet mini chocolate chips

Directions:

Melt vanilla bark in microwave for 30 seconds, then 15 second intervals, stirring each time. 

Dip cookies in melted coating, or spread on cookie with a knife or fork.

While coating is still soft, add two mini chocolate chips for eyes. 

Allow coated cookies to cool on parchment or waxed paper. 

These cookies look like little ghosts, so cute!!!


Enjoy!

These cookie bars are made with oatmeal, peanut butter, and chocolate chips. The base is salty and sweet, and the topping is very sweet! Not sure why they are called candy bar cookies though. They do not taste like any candy bars we've ever had. Maybe it's because the peanut butter chocolate coating tastes like candy (similar to Reese's), and, they are BAR COOKIES. Put them together and what do you have? Candy Bar Cookies! :o)

Ingredients:

1 c. brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 c. butter, softened
1/2 c. light corn syrup
3 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. salt
4 c. quick-cooking oats
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions:

By hand or with electric mixer on medium speed, combine brown sugar and softened butter until fluffy. 

Add corn syrup, vanilla, and salt. Stir in oats. Spread evenly in greased 9x13x2 inch baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes. 

Melt peanut butter and chocolate chips over low heat, stirring constantly. 

Editor's Note: We melted the peanut butter and chocolate chips in the microwave, on high for 45 seconds, stirring every 15 seconds. 

Spread over baked cookie layer while still warm. 

Cut into bars, when cool. Makes 2 dozen bars.

Enjoy!

Ingredients:

3/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. packed brown sugar
1 3/4 c. flour mixed with 1 tsp. baking powder and 1/2 tsp. baking soda
8 large Reese's peanut butter cups cut into 1/2 inch pieces (wrap in plastic wrap)

Instructions:

Place white sugar in jar. Next is the brown sugar, measure and then fluff with fork as you add this layer so it won't be in one clump. Press down slightly. 

Mix flour, baking powder and soda together, then add to jar using a large spoon or small measuring cup. The 1/4 measure is perfect for filling the jar. 

If you have not done so already, cut peanut butter cups into small pieces.

1/4 c. chocolate chips
1/2 c. milk
2 tsp. vanilla

Hint: If you're in a hurry... slide cookies with wax paper onto a flat tray or baking sheet and place in the fridge to chill. They will set very quickly this way. I'm not sure if you need to store these cookies in the fridge, but we did. They are, um, I mean, they WERE delicious!
