Preparation
1. Spray a 9×13 baking dish lightly with nonstick spray. Set aside.
2. In a large sauce pot over low heat melt the butter. Once it’s melted add in the marshmallows, stirring continuously until they are melted. Immediately remove the pot from the heat.
3. Pour in the cereal and stir until coated evenly with the marshmallow mixture.
5. Spread the mixture into the prepared pan and press in evenly. Allow this to cool completely, at least 30 minutes.
7. Using a ghost cookie cutter, cut the krispie treats into shapes, careful to use as much of the krispie treat as possible, to minimize scraps. You should get 10 ghosts, if using a large cookie cutter.
8. Place these on a parchment lined baking sheet.
9. In a medium bowl melt your white chocolate in the microwave for 30 seconds and then removing to stir. Continue this process until the white chocolate is melted.
10. Dip one side of the krispie treat into the white chocolate. If you are having trouble doing this, you can spread the white chocolate on top with an off-set spatula.
11. Immediately press 3 mini chips into the ghost to make the eyes and the mouth. Place the treats back on the lined baking sheet so the white chocolate can set.
