Scary Ghost Cookies:

In a food processor or blender, pulse 10 graham crackers and 1 bag TWIX® Brand Caramel Cookie Bars FUN SIZE® until fine.

Remove the mixtures and put it in a bowl. Add the peanut butter and confectioner's sugar to the bowl and blend together.

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.

Heat the frosting in the microwave for approximately 10-20 seconds, until thinned and looking clightly 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 MINIS® Milk Chocolate Candies on each ghost for the eyes.

Sprinkle the ground chocolate cookies on a plate like it is "dirt". Nestle the ghosts in the "dirt".

Witches' Hats:

Flip striped cookie over, so stripes face down.

Put a small amount of peanut butter on the bottom of a Hershey’s kiss.

Use the Hershey’s kiss to cover the hole in the cookie.

Using your orange icing, pastry bag, and a small tip, ice around the base of the kiss for the hat band, and draw to small loops for the bow.
