Serves: 12 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1/2 cup black chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter
- 1 cup graham cracker crumbs
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring a flat and smooth surface for cooling the cookies.
- In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely smooth and fully melted.
- Add mini marshmallows to the melted white chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Stir gently until marshmallows are evenly coated and slightly softened.
- Incorporate graham cracker crumbs into the mixture, stirring thoroughly to create a consistent dough that holds together easily.
- Using clean hands or a cookie scoop, shape the mixture into ghost-like oval shapes on the prepared parchment paper. Aim for approximately 12 uniform cookies.
- Melt black chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl, heating in 15-second intervals and stirring until completely smooth.
- Use a small spoon or piping bag to carefully add black chocolate eyes and mouth details to each ghost-shaped cookie.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow cookies to set and become firm.
- Remove from refrigerator, let sit at room temperature for 5 minutes before serving, and enjoy your ghostly no-bake treats!
Tips
- Make sure to use a microwave-safe bowl and stir ingredients frequently to prevent burning.
- For perfectly shaped ghosts, slightly dampen your hands with cold water when forming the cookie shapes.
- Use a small piping bag or a toothpick for precise chocolate facial features.
- Refrigeration is key to helping these no-bake cookies set quickly and maintain their shape.
- For a fun variation, try using different colored chocolate for eyes and mouths.
- Store cookies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- Let cookies sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving for the best texture and taste.
