From Family Features

Ingredients:
      Wax paper
1     cup (6 ounces) Nestlé Toll House Premier White Morsels
2     tablespoons vegetable shortening
18 to 20 plastic spoons
Assorted candies for decorating
Festive plastic wrap or clear lollipop bags (found in craft stores)
Orange and black ribbon

Instructions:

LINE baking sheet with wax paper.

PLACE morsels and shortening in medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. Morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until melted; cool slightly.

DIP one spoon into melted morsels; shake off excess. Place on prepared tray. Make ghostly face with candies. Repeat with remaining spoons. Refrigerate until set.

WRAP each spoon in a sheet of plastic wrap. Gather at base of spoon; tie with orange and black ribbons. Trim ends of plastic wrap, if desired.
