Recipe Substitutions
Chocolate chips: I used chocolate chips, but you can use white chocolate, or peanut butter chips too.
Decorations: I kept decorations simple and light but feel free to add icing and then decorate. A simple cookie icing to outline the pumpkin expression and add eyes and a mouth to the ghost worked perfectly.
