You can use one of 3 things to make these ghost treats for Halloween with the kids – either white chocolate, white candy melts or almond bark. Just which ever you use follow the melting instructions on the package to ensure that you don’t burn them whilst melting.

I prefer the taste of the white chocolate or almond bark, but my kids like using the white candy melts as they are denser so you get a thicker coat. Use which ever is your preference in the recipe.
