The 'Bakers Royale' blog debuted a recipe for making spooky chocolate treats that are inspired by an iconic Halloween ghoul. The mummy is a classic Halloween character that is often seen wrapped in white bandages. These delicious cookie pops put an adorable twist on the familiar ghoul.
Unlike cake pops, these cookies require no actual baking. The base of the dessert is simply made from an oval-shaped cookie such as a 'Nutter Butter.' After the cookie has been dipped in chocolate, the mummy decorations are added using buttercream frosting. The end result is a delicious treat that resembles an iconic Halloween ghoul.
Because there is little preparation involved in the recipe, the cookie pops serve as a great Halloween activity for young children.
