If you love the classic Reese's ghosts, you will love these healthier copycat Reese's Butterfinger Ghosts. They make are the easiest, cutest healthier halloween treat! A crunchy peanut butter filling is covered in chocolate and made in the most adorable ghost molds!
Ingredients
Butterfinger filling
- 1/2 cup Natural peanut butter
- 3-4 tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tbsp melted coconut oil or avocado oil
- 1 tsp vanilla extract & good pinch of sea salt
- 3/4 cup lightly crushed corn flake cereal *Linked my favorites in the notes!
Chocolate coating
- 1 1/3 cups chocolate chips
- 2 tsp coconut oil *if needed to thin the chocolate out!
Instructions
- Using the double boiler method to melt the chocolate OR use a microwave by adding your chocolate to a heat-proof bowl Heat in 20 second increments, stirring well between each, until completely smooth.
- Add a small amount of chocolate to the bottom of your molds, making sure to spread it out so it covers the bottom completely and pull it up the sides of each crevice a bit. Pop in the freezer for a few minutes to allow it to harden.
- While the mold is in the freezer, make the filling. In a bowl, combine all of the ingredients besides the cereal, until smooth. Then fold in the cereal. Taste the mixture. If you want it a little sweeter, you can add an extra tablespoon of sweetener.
- Once the chocolate layer has hardened in the molds, remove it from the freezer. Add some of the filling to each one, gently pressing it down into the bottom.
- Use the remaining chocolate to pour over top of each ghost, spreading it out to cover the filling. Place the mold back in the freezer for an hour or so until completely firm (You want to give it time so the filling firms up as well).
- Then remove the eggs from the mold and place them in an air-tight container. Store in the freezer!

Notes
Corn flake cereal: I like two brands - Real Cereal is made with just organic corn grits & sea salt. The brand Nature’s Path Organic corn flakes is made with organic corn and sweetened with pear juice!
Feel free to use any nut butter or sunflower seed butter for a nut-free option!
