Now, I’ve taken that classic comfort food and given it a festive Halloween twist! By adding ghost stencils on top, you get a breakfast, snack, or dessert that’s full of holiday spirit. And the best part? It’s so quick and easy that even little hands can help.

Ingredients You’ll Need
- 4 slices of bread (white or whole wheat)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Ghost stencils (you can buy or make your own with paper)
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the cinnamon sugar mix
In a small bowl, combine the sugar and cinnamon. Stir until well blended and set aside.
Step 2: Toast the bread
Lightly toast the bread slices until golden but still soft. This helps the butter spread evenly and keeps the bread sturdy for decorating.
Step 3: Butter the toast
Spread softened butter over each warm slice of toast, making sure to cover all edges.
Step 4: Add the ghost stencils
Place ghost stencils on each slice of toast. Carefully sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the top. Lift the stencil to reveal spooky ghost shapes.
Step 5: Serve and enjoy!
Serve immediately while warm. Pair with hot cocoa, pumpkin spice latte, or a glass of cold milk for a spooky Halloween snack.
Serving Suggestions
- Make it extra festive by adding a dusting of powdered sugar “cobwebs.”
- Pair with a warm autumn drink like apple cider or hot chocolate.
- For a party, serve on a tray decorated with candy corn, mini pumpkins, and spooky napkins.
- Let kids decorate their own ghost toast with sprinkles or edible glitter.
