These No-Bake Ghost Cornflake & Peanut Butter Cookies are crunchy, creamy, and sweet with a spooky twist. Made with cornflakes, peanut butter, syrup, marshmallows, and white chocolate, they’re an easy Halloween treat that requires no oven and is fun to make with kids.

Ingredients

4 cups Cornflake cereal (fresh and crunchy, gluten-free if needed)

1/2 cup Peanut butter (creamy or crunchy)

1/2 cup Syrup (maple syrup, corn syrup, or honey)

1/2 tsp Salt

1 tsp Vanilla extract

18 Marshmallows (standard size)

1 cup White chocolate (chips or chopped bar)

1 tbsp Dark chocolate (chips or chopped bar)

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine cornflake cereal, peanut butter, syrup, salt, and vanilla extract. Mix until evenly coated.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and shape into ghost-like figures with a rounded bottom and tapered top.
  3. Press one marshmallow into the wider bottom part of each ghost for the base.
  4. Melt white chocolate in the microwave in short intervals until smooth. Dip the top two-thirds of each ghost (covering the marshmallow and base) into the chocolate. Let excess drip off and place back on the sheet.
  5. Melt dark chocolate and use a toothpick, brush, or piping bag to draw two eyes and a mouth on each ghost.
  6. Chill in the refrigerator for 10–15 minutes until chocolate sets, then serve.

Notes

Swap peanut butter with almond, sunflower seed butter, or cookie butter for a different flavor.

Use candy melts instead of white chocolate for colorful ghosts.

Make mini ghosts with smaller bases and mini marshmallows.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days, in the fridge for 1 week, or freeze up to 1 month.

Always use parchment paper to prevent sticking.
