Mistake to Avoid
Don’t dip the wafers too deep in the chocolate or they’ll get soggy. Also, avoid rushing the drying process; touching the chocolate before it sets can smudge your ghost faces. Lastly, melting chocolate too fast or too long can cause it to seize, turning grainy and unusable slow and steady wins this race.

Notes
Variation I’ve Tried
I like to switch things up depending on my mood or what’s in the pantry. Sometimes I use white chocolate instead of dark for a ghost that really pops. Other times, I add a sprinkle of crushed peppermint on top for a minty surprise. If you want to make them extra festive, try adding edible glitter or colored sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Ever thought about a peanut butter filling between two wafers? It’s so delicious!
Tips for Chocolate Dipped Ghost Wafer Cookies
Make sure your wafers are fresh and not stale; nothing ruins a crisp cookie like sogginess. When melting chocolate, don’t overheat it stir often to keep it smooth and shiny. If you don’t have edible markers, a toothpick dipped in melted chocolate works perfectly for drawing faces. Patience is key letting the chocolate set fully will keep your ghosts looking neat and prevent smudges.
Leftovers
If you somehow have leftovers (which honestly, rarely happens), store them in an airtight container at room temperature. They’ll stay crisp for about 3-4 days. Avoid the fridge unless your house is really warm because moisture can make the wafers lose their crunch. If they soften a bit, a quick toast in the oven for a couple of minutes brings back the crispness.
