White Chocolate Dipped Twinkie Ghosts

This weekend I went on my first ever Ghost Tour.  It was a "haunted tour" of the University of Oklahoma campus.  Not only was it historically informative, it was just a little spooky too!  My friends and I thought it was the perfect "Ghoul's Night Out" and an ideal way to spend a chilly, October evening.  Not only was it the first Ghost Tour that any of us had been on, I think we set the record for another first: Tailgating a Ghost Tour.  Not being one to let a night out slip by without being a festive occasion, I wanted to come up with some kind of ghost-themed treat for the girls.  You know, a little "Paranormal Party Favor."  I decided to dip some Twinkies in white chocolate to see what happened.  Success!  And I've been DYING to use those little Wilton edible candy eyes.  Delicious and slightly creepy all in one.  These eerily-edible ghosts would make a great school treat, or little Halloween gift for your family or co-workers.  Happy Halloween! 

I love them!
Packed up for a little "Ghoul's Night Out"
We had hot chocolate with fresh whipped cream,
with the option of adding peppermint schnapps
or marshmallow flavored vodka.  Our white chocolate dipped
Twinkie ghosts of course, and some Crack Corn-complete
with orange and black sprinkles.
The Crack Corn recipe is available
HERE.

gargoyles staring  down at us from
their perch atop the Bizzell Library.
White Chocolate Dipped Twinkie Ghosts...
I highly recommend them for some
Frightening Fun!
White Chocolate Dipped Twinkie Ghosts
6 Hostess Twinkies
1 package white chocolate almond bark
lollipop sticks
Wilton Candy Eyes

Unwrap Twinkies.  Line a tray or cookie sheet with waxed paper.  Insert a lollipop stick into each Twinkie.  Melt almond bark in microwave according to package directions.  Carefully dip each Twinkie into melted coating, allowing excess to drip away.  Place on prepared cookie sheet.  Place in refrigerator or freezer for several minutes, allowing coating to set.  Dip the Twinkies for a second time, this time placing eyes on while coating is still wet.  Allow coating to completely set before wrapping in cellophane or clear treat bags.

Prep Time:  Approximately 30 minutes     Cook Time: 0
