Nutter Butter Easter Chicks

6 ingredients
5 steps

Ingredients

  • 16 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
  • 12 ounces yellow candy melts or 12 ounces white chocolate candy melts, with
  • yellow food coloring (must be an oil-based coloring)
  • 8 orange Tic Tac mints (beak)
  • black decorating gel (eyes) or icing (eyes)
  • wax paper

Directions

  1. 1
    Cut the Tic Tacs in half to form the chick's beak. Set aside.
  2. 2
    Melt the candy coating as directed on the package. I use the microwave. If using white candy melts, add enough yellow food coloring to get a bright yellow tint.
  3. 3
    Dip the Nutter Butter cookies in the melted candy coating, shake off the excess, then lay on the wax paper. Allow the coating to harden, about 10-20 minutes.
  4. 4
    Pipe eyes on each chick. Add eyebrows or eye lashes if you like -- I think it gives them more personality.
  5. 5
    Beak: Attach the beak using a bit of melted candy coating.
