Ghost Toasts are a quick and fun Halloween-themed snack that transform classic toast into charming ghost shapes with simple, kid-friendly ingredients. Perfect for festive parties or an easy seasonal treat, these toasts combine crisp bread with creamy bases and playful decorations, making them irresistible for all ages.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Bread slices (white, whole wheat or gluten-free) – 4 slices
  • Cream cheese or frosting – 1/2 cup
  • Banana slices or mini marshmallows – 1/2 cup
  • Chocolate chips or raisins – 1/4 cup
  • Honey or maple syrup (optional) – 1-2 tablespoons

Optional Variations & Toppings

  • Dairy-free cream cheese (for vegan version) – 1/2 cup
  • Maple syrup (to replace honey for vegan)
  • Crushed nuts or sunflower seeds – 2 tablespoons
  • Apple or pear slices (alternative to banana) – 1/2 cup
  • Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice – 1 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Slice the bread into desired sizes. Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter or carefully cut rounded ghost figures with a knife. Lightly toast the bread so it holds its shape yet remains soft for spreading.
  2. Spread the Creamy Base: Generously spread cream cheese or chosen frosting evenly over each toast slice to create a smooth white ghostly base. This adds creaminess and helps decorations stick.
  3. Create the Face: Place chocolate chips, raisins, or small fruit pieces on the cream layer to form eyes and mouth, crafting friendly, spooky, or silly ghost expressions as preferred.
  4. Add Final Touches: Top the ghosts with banana slices or mini marshmallows for dimension and texture. Optionally drizzle honey or maple syrup over the toasts for a hint of sweetness.

Notes

  • Choose firm bread to prevent sogginess when spreading cream cheese.
  • Chill cream cheese slightly for easier and smoother spreading.
  • Use mini chocolate chips for perfectly sized eyes and mouths.
  • Prepare all decorations ahead of time to streamline assembly and keep toasts fresh.
  • Mix spooky and silly ghost faces for variety and fun visual appeal.
  • Store leftover Ghost Toasts in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day.
  • Freeze plain toasted bread slices only; assemble the ghosts fresh when ready.
  • Reheat toast lightly before adding fresh cream cheese and toppings to avoid sogginess.
