This easy Halloween craft transforms six Twinkies into charming ghost snacks using melted almond bark and candy eyes. By coating each cake in a double-boiled almond bark mixture (one rectangle per two cakes) and adding two candy eyes per treat, you create a fun, festive dessert that hardens as it cools.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Begin by melting the almond bark in a double boiler, using one rectangle for every two Twinkies, until it reaches a smooth, liquid consistency.
  2. Carefully remove the wrappers from each of the six Twinkies.
  3. Using a cake spatula, dip each cake into the melted almond bark to cover it completely.
  4. Press two candy eyes onto the top of each coated cake to create a spooky face.
  5. Let the treats sit until the almond bark has fully hardened and set.
