These decorative ghost treats make great Trick-Or-Treat desserts for your classroom, day care, or even your neighborhood kids on Halloween night.
If you are strapped for time, you can melt the white baking chips in the microwave instead of on the stove. Place the chips into a small microwaveable dish and microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir until the chips have completely melted. When finished, place the completed ghosts in the freezer for 5 minutes to harden.
Ingredients:
- 1 (3 ft.) roll of chewy fruit snack
- 14 (3-inch long) pretzel sticks
- 2/3 cup white baking chips
- 1 teaspoon miniature semisweet chocolate chips
Directions:
Cover a cookie sheet completely with wax paper. Unroll the fruit snack and cut the long end of the snack from end to end into 1/2 inch fringe. Cut the roll into 2 inch segments. Wrap a piece of the fringed fruit snack around one end of each pretzel stick. Use your fingers to press the fruit snack onto the pretzel to make it stick well. Place the pretzel sticks onto the prepared cookie sheet.
Place the white baking ships into a saucepan placed over low heat. Stirring almost constantly with a wooden spoon, heat the chips for 5 minutes or until completely melted. Remove the pan from the stove.
Measure out 1/2 tsp. of the melted chips and pour into a ghost shape over the middle of a pretzel stick to form a ghost. Continue until you have made all 14 ghosts.
Press 3 of the chocolate chips onto each ghost head for the eyes and a nose. Allow the ghosts to set at room temperature for 45 minutes or until they have hardened.
