Ingredients for Ghost Peeps Chocolate Dip

You don’t need a long grocery list for this recipe—hallelujah, right?! Here’s exactly what you’ll need:

½ bag milk chocolate chips (about 6–8 oz)
¼ cup heavy whipping cream
1 package ghost Peeps marshmallows
Extra chocolate chips (for decorating Peeps’ eyes and mouths)
Graham crackers, for serving

That’s it! Five ingredients stand between you and a skillet full of gooey, chocolatey, marshmallow goodness.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Ghost Peeps Chocolate Dip

Now let’s walk through how to make this recipe, step by step. Spoiler alert: it’s just as easy as it is delicious.

Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a cast-iron baking dish or any oven-safe dish.

Prepare the Chocolate Base
In a mixing bowl, combine your milk chocolate chips with heavy whipping cream. Stir until everything is well coated. Then, pour that mixture into your greased dish and spread it out evenly.

Arrange the Ghost Peeps
This is where the fun begins! Take your package of ghost Peeps and arrange them in a circle on top of the chocolate mixture. Make sure you cover all the chocolate with those marshmallow ghosts.

Decorate Their Faces
Using extra chocolate chips, press little eyes and mouths onto each ghost Peep. The kids love helping with this part—it makes the ghosts come alive (in a not-so-scary way).

Bake
Place your dish in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the Peeps are golden brown on top and the chocolate is perfectly melted underneath.

Serve & Enjoy
Take your dish out of the oven, grab some graham crackers, and dip away! Serve it warm for that gooey, melt-in-your-mouth experience.

And just like that, you’ve made Ghost Peeps Chocolate Dip—a Halloween treat that looks fancy but couldn’t be easier.

Tips & Tricks from a Crazy Busy Mama

Because I know how wild life can get (hello, four kids, pets, work, and about a hundred other things every day), I wanted to share a few CBM tips to make this recipe even easier and more fun:

Use a Skillet – Cast iron skillets are not only cute for presentation but also keep the dip warm longer. Plus, they give you that rustic fall vibe we all love.
Try Different Peeps – Don’t just stop with ghost Peeps! Peeps makes pumpkins, cats, and even Frankenstein versions. Swap them in for a fun twist on Ghost Peeps Chocolate Dip.
Make it Ahead – You can prepare the chocolate base ahead of time and just add the Peeps before baking. Perfect for when you want a stress-free night.
Add Toppings – Crushed Oreos, candy corn, or sprinkles can add a little extra Halloween flair.
Serving Suggestion – While graham crackers are the classic dipper, try pretzels or even apple slices for a salty or fruity contrast.

It’s about gathering in the kitchen, laughing as we decorate the marshmallow faces, and sitting around the table dipping graham crackers while talking about Halloween costumes, school stories, and life.

My late husband loved when the kids and I would make seasonal treats, and I’ve found that continuing these traditions keeps him close to us. Even something as simple as Ghost Peeps Chocolate Dip can carry so much heart. It’s about memory-making, and that’s priceless.
