Ghostly Gooey Dip
Welcome back to #HalloweenTreatsWeek! Today I’m debuting my 2nd addition to this spooktacular event. I do hope you found some new tricks and treats to try from yesterday’s post.

My creation for today is a fun party food that’s great for kids of all ages. Ghostly Gooey Dip is not only delicious, but it adds a very cute touch to parties. It is definitely appropriate for the younger kids, it isn’t scary. Serve with pretzels, graham crackers, or cut fruit.
This is a simple 3 ingredient dip, yup that’s all it takes folks. Grab your electric hand mixer, and get mixing. What totally makes Ghostly Gooey Dip over the top cute is the addition of some friendly little ghosts from Wilton. Aren’t they fun?
In addition to the ghosts, I simply used some orange gel food color and swirled it around with a toothpick. Next a sprinkling of sprinkles and there ya have it, Ghostly Gooey Dip! Easy, fun, and ready for a party!
Some tips for making Ghostly Gooey Dip:
- Add in any flavor extract you wish to make this dip flavored.
- Make the dip portion ahead of time and refrigerate. Decorate just prior to serving.
- I added a large dollop of Cool-Whip in the center to elevate the ghost decorations.

I love the Halloween peanuts special. Otherwise, not sure about favorite character. I do love everything about Haloween. I’ve even had decorations up for a few weeks already!
My favorite Halloween desert/treat is BIRTHDAY cake. BTW, I hate my birthday.
My whole family always really enjoyed Halloween. As the years went by, Mama and I had our own tradition: after the last trick-or-treater had been served, we would have popcorn and hot chocolate.
