Ingredients
- 16 Nutter Butter Cookies
- 1 12 oz. bag of yellow candy melts
- 32 candy eyes
- 1/4 cup orange reese's pieces cut in half
- 1/4 cup yellow reese's pieces cut in half
- Orange cookie frosting
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
- Take the reese's pieces, and use a sharp knife to carefully half each one.
- Start by melting the candy melts. Microwave for 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.
- Coat the Nutter Butter cookies with the melted candy.
- As you go, quickly add two candy eyes, half an orange candy for a beak, two halves for feet, and two yellow halves for arms for the chicks.
- Allow the chicks to set, until the candy is solid.
- Take the orange cookie frosting and draw a little hair on the top of each chick.
- Allow this to set, and then enjoy.
Notes
Notes:
- Work in small batches so the candy coating doesn’t harden too fast
- Use a fork or dipping tool for smoother coating
- If candy melts thicken, reheat in short bursts and stir well
- Place decorations immediately—timing is everything!
- Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature. Refrigeration is not necessary, but can extend freshness slightly.
- Freezer: Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a container for up to 2 months. Place parchment between layers to prevent sticking or smudging.
