Ghost Toast
Create spooky ghost-shaped toasts with flaky biscuits, cinnamon sugar, and butter for a fun and sweet treat perfect for kids or Halloween celebrations.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Separate each biscuit into three parts and stretch them into ghost shapes.
- Paint each ghost with melted butter and sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.
- Bake at 375°F for about 5 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For best results, ensure your biscuits are at room temperature before separating. If you don't have cinnamon sugar, you can easily make your own by mixing equal parts cinnamon and sugar. Consider adding a pinch of nutmeg for an extra flavor kick, reminiscent of the spices in American recipes like Carrot Fig Bars. Experiment with other shapes if desired.
Serving Suggestions
Serve your ghost toast warm, perfect for a Halloween-themed breakfast or snack. They pair beautifully with Vanilla Or Chocolate Ice Cream for a fun dessert. Consider adding a side of fresh fruit or a yogurt dip for a balanced treat, making it enjoyable for both kids and adults alike.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftover ghost toast in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. To reheat, place them in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes to restore their crispiness. Avoid using the microwave as it can make them soggy.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use other types of dough instead of flaky biscuits?
Absolutely! You can try using crescent roll dough or even homemade pastry dough for a different texture. Just ensure the dough is easy to shape and holds its form during baking for optimal results in your ghost toast.
How can I make these ghost toast healthier?
You can substitute the melted butter with a healthier oil, like coconut oil or a light spray of olive oil. Additionally, consider using whole wheat biscuits for added fiber. This way, you can enjoy a slightly healthier treat while still keeping the fun of the original recipe.
What can I do if I don't have cinnamon sugar?
If you don't have cinnamon sugar on hand, mix 1 tablespoon of sugar with 1 teaspoon of cinnamon to create your own blend. You can also experiment with other spices such as pumpkin pie spice or even cocoa powder for a unique twist on your ghost toast.
