Ghost Peanut Butter Cups

These Ghost Peanut Butter Cups are such a delicious and easy Halloween treat. It’s great for kids and adults and you only need 3 ingredients to make them.

Making these ghosts is such a fun way to get into the Halloween spirit. The base is a peanut butter cup (my ride or die dessert) and they’re topping with a marshmallow and white chocolate.

Incase you haven’t noticed, I am obsessed with all things Halloween. And especially Halloween recipes. They’re so fun and festive and the reactions on my kid’s faces is just heavenly. 

These ghosts are a must must try. And something I have a feeling you will love as much as we do. Plus you only need 3 ingredients to make them. They have the best flavor combo of peanut butter, chocolate, marshmallows and the sweetness of white chocolate on top too. Such an underrated combo in my opinion.

I cannot wait to hear what you guys think of these! Let me know if you make them.

What ingredients you need to make these cute Ghost Peanut Butter Cups:

• Peanut butter cups – or you can use almond butter cups if you prefer
• Marshmallows – large marshmallows only. Mini ones are too small for these
• White chocolate chips – or your favorite white chocolate bar
• Black food marker or black icing – needed to make the eyes and nose for the ghost

How to make Ghost Peanut Butter Cups:

1. Line a plate or cutting board with parchment paper
2. Melt chocolate in microwave or stovetop in 30 second increments or until melted (add coconut oil to melt if needed)
3. Take a fork and dip the marshmallows in chocolate and coat
4. Add on top of peanut butter cup (on the larger side)
5. Repeat for remaining ghost ingredients then all the ghosts to set
6. Add eyes and nose when firm then enjoy!

FAQs and tips on making these Ghosts for Halloween:

• What is the best way to store these? At room temperature for 5 days in an airtight container. I do think they’re at their prime though first 2 days.
• My marker won’t draw the eyes or nose, help! Make sure the chocolate is completely set before you draw them on. If they are too soft, the marker won’t work.
• Are these ghosts good for kids? My kids eat them and love them. I’d say 2+ years old works. I wouldn’t give these to younger toddlers.
• Can I use something else instead of peanut butter cups? Yes! Almond butter cups is another great option if you don’t do peanut butter.
