(Makes 18 to 20 spoons)

Wax paper
1 cup (6 ounces) NestlÈ 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

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.
