ingredients

  • 3½ cups chopped TWIX® Cookie Bars
  • 10 pieces graham crackers
  • 3/4 cup peanut butter, reduced fat
  • 1/3 cup confectioner’s sugar
  • 1 ½ cups prepared vanilla frosting
  • ¼ cup mini M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies
  • Ground chocolate cookies, optional
  • Wax paper
  • Sheet pan
  • Wire rack
  • Food processor

directions

  • 1. In a food processor or blender, pulse TWIX® Cookie Bars with graham crackers until fine.
  • 2. Remove the mixture and put it in a bowl. Add the peanut butter and confectioner’s sugar to the bowl and blend together.
  • 3. Divide the mixture into 16 pieces. Shape each piece into a ghost. If too sticky, add extra confectioner’s sugar as necessary. Place the ghosts onto the wax paper and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • 4. Heat the frosting in the microwave for approximately 10-20 seconds, until thinned and looking slightly like whipped cream. Place the ghosts on a wire rack over a sheet pan lined with waxed paper. Spoon the heated frosting over the ghosts until completely coated. If the unused frosting begins firming up, simply reheat it for 5 to 10 seconds. Place 2 M&M’S® Brand Chocolate Candies on each ghost for the eyes.
  • 5. Sprinkle the ground chocolate cookies on a plate like it is "dirt" if you want. Nestle the ghosts in the "dirt".
