Boooo!!
I really, really wanted to start off with “Who you gonna call? Ghostbusters!”
But it felt a little too cheesy.
So you guys do know the movie Ghostbusters, right?
You know, the one with Dan Aykroyd and Bill Murray and that famous Ghostbuster car?
Yeah, well my memories of Halloween involve that car and the Gostbusters theme song.
My grandparents live next door to the guy that owned the original Ghostbusters car. The very one that was used in the movie, the very one that Dan Aykroyd made very famous.
Every Halloween the car would come out and hit all the school parades, take a few lucky kids for a ride and then during trick or treating it would come out just once and go up and down a few of the main streets. Everybody always had their eyes and ears wide open.
You could hear the sirens a mile away and you knew it was coming. No one wanted to miss it since there was always candy flying out the widows.
It made little old Rocky River, Ohio the place to be on Halloween night.
Trust me, it was fun.
Sadly, I heard Mr. Lintz sold the car (I even found this article when I typed Bob Lintz into google to check the spelling) but I am lucky enough to have the fun memories. Since my grandparents lived right next door I got to see my fair share of the car and also take a few extra tours through it. It was just fun and ghostly. Plus, I felt pretty darn cool being a kid in such a famous car.
So every time I see ghosts, I always, always think of that car and the fun memories.
And there is my trip down memory lane for the day.
Come on, you have got admit, you are pretty jealous. No?
Well then, you should be!
And now confession time.
I have actually never seen the movie. Nope, never seen it. Just been in the car.
I should probably watch, huh? Is is good?
And now pancake time!
Took me long enough, but I promise the wait was worth it. I mean, they are literally dripping in chocolate.
DRIPPING.
They deserve all caps.
Really though, how fun are these?
Aren’t those little marshmallow ghosts so stinkin’ spooky? Ahhh, I just love them. Ok and the all the chocolate dripping off this stack of fudge brownie pancakes.
Fudge brownie. Not just brownie, fudge brownie. The combo of pumpkin and chocolate chips stirred into the batter makes these things gooey in the center and full of chocolate. Hence the “chocolate lovers” in the name.
They are a true treat and I am not really suggesting they are breakfast (although I did still include them in the breakfast category of my recipe page), because well, they are still pancakes!
Just like most pancakes they are really quick and easy to throw together and the marshmallow ghosts are just some really easy, fluffy frosting that comes together in minutes. Just be careful when plopping the little ghost on top of the ganache. They are going to want to slide a bit, so I found it was helpful to let the ganache sit a few minute before adding the ghosts. This keeps the ghosts from sliding completely off the pancakes.
But either way, they are going to come off and end up in the same place.
Your mouth!

Ah.. Happy Friday!
Can’t get over those marshmallows. Fairly positive I could devour the entire stack!
So creative! And decadent too. LOVE these pancakes! Pinned! xo

Ghosts. Chocolate. Pumpkin! Yeah I’d say these are the official pancakes of October!! I am dying for a bite.
Thanks Steph!
I was looking through these drool-worthy photos and my 3-year old sister was sitting on my lap and all of a sudden she gasped and said: “Mmmm! That’s tasty! Can you make that for me tomorrow?” I agree wholeheartedly—I gotta try these pancakes asap! All that dripping chocolate! 🙂
Awe! So cute!!

Thank you, Ali!
What a fun and festive masterpiece, Tieghan! Perfect for Halloween with all those little ghosties on all that dripping dark chocolate sauce! I’m with Sally…perfect for Halloween brunch with a hot cuppa or very tall glass of milk. So cool that you were able to ride and enjoy candy being thrown from the Ghostbusters car each Halloween growing up! Thanks for sharing a little bit of memory lane and this wicked recipe, girl. Pinning!
Thank you so much, Stacy!! You are the best! 🙂
So cute! They sound downright delicious. Chocolate is my best friend. So these are my kind of pancakes!
Thanks so much, Melanie!!
Those little ghosts? I can’t even stand it! Too cute for words. They would be wonderful for a Halloween brunch! I just love pumpkin and chocolate together. And now I’m craving pancakes for breakfast.
Thanks Sally!! I love how pumpkin and chocolate chips work together! It is a fudgy chocolate heaven! 🙂
Is that the same guy in Ohio who also owns the Bat Mobile and the Rocket Car?
Those pancakes are SO fun and delicious-looking.
No, I have never seen those ones!! Just the Ghostbusters car!
Thanks Liz!
DUDE – you are SO LUCKY, having that Ghostbusters car next door to your house! You have to see the movie! It’s so awesome – Bill Murray at his finest. Sit down with some of these bad boys and get it done!
HA! Thanks Sarah!!
I have to watch the movie!
Where do I begin. Again….SO CREATIVE! Chocolate-kahlua sauce. I would like that on everything. And those little ghosts…SO CUTE! My daughter would love those. I would love the sauce. And the pancakes themselves – yes pumpkin + chocolate come together usually in a very fudgy way! Pinned!
Thanks Averie!! They were pretty fun and so fudgy! I love how pumpkin and chocolate chips work together! It is a fudgy heaven! 🙂
