Festive Shape & Seasonal Availability
Nutter Butter Ghosts feature our distinctive ghost silhouette with adorable facial details embossed right into the cookie. The playful design makes every bite part of your Halloween celebration, whether you’re hosting a costume party or simply enjoying the season at home.
These limited-edition cookies typically arrive in stores starting in late August and remain available through October while supplies last. We recommend stocking up early if you’re planning a large Halloween event, as the ghost shape is one of our most popular seasonal offerings. Many families make Nutter Butter Ghosts an annual tradition, serving them at Halloween gatherings year after year.
Ingredients & Peanut Butter Filling
Our ghost cookies deliver the same satisfying peanut butter taste that has made Nutter Butter a household favorite since 1969. The creme filling contains real peanut butter, giving each cookie an authentic nutty flavor that artificial alternatives simply can’t match.
The crispy vanilla wafer cookies sandwich the smooth peanut butter creme, creating the perfect texture contrast in every bite. We use enriched flour, sugar, and vegetable oils to achieve the signature crunch, while the filling brings rich, creamy peanut butter flavor that kids request again and again.
Storage & Freshness Tips
Keep your Nutter Butter Ghosts fresh by storing them in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat sources. The resealable packaging helps maintain that satisfying crunch between snacking sessions, though we find most families finish the box pretty quickly once October arrives.
For extended freshness, especially if you’re buying multiple boxes ahead of a Halloween party, store unopened packages in your pantry at room temperature. Once opened, reseal the package tightly or transfer cookies to an airtight container. Properly stored nutter butter ghosts typically stay fresh for several weeks, though always check the best-by date printed on the package.

Check your local retailer or our online store for specific package sizes and counts available in your area during the Halloween season.
While nutter butter ghosts are delicious straight from the package, they also work wonderfully in recipes. Try crumbling them over ice cream sundaes, using them as a pie crust base, or incorporating them into no-bake dessert bars. The peanut butter flavor pairs beautifully with chocolate, caramel, and vanilla in autumn-themed treats. Many families also use them for decorating activities at Halloween parties, adding icing and candy to create custom ghost faces.
