Classic Nutter Butter cookies are dipped in rich dark chocolate and decorated with white candy melts, orange M&Ms, and edible candy eyes to create cute little penguin faces.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookies

  • 6 Nutter Butter cookies

Chocolate Coating

  • 1 cup dark chocolate melting wafers
  • 6 white candy melts

Decorations

  • 12 regular orange M&Ms
  • 6 mini orange M&Ms
  • 12 edible candy eyes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
  2. Melt the chocolate: Place the dark chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each session until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
  3. Dip the cookies: Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted dark chocolate, gently tapping off any excess chocolate. Place the dipped cookies on the prepared parchment paper to set.
  4. Add the white belly: Place one white candy melt at the bottom center of each chocolate-dipped cookie to mimic the penguin’s belly.
  5. Create the feet: Position two regular orange M&Ms at the bottom edge of each cookie to represent the penguin’s feet.
  6. Place the eyes and beak: Add two edible candy eyes toward the top of each cookie. Place one mini orange M&M between and slightly beneath the eyes to serve as the penguin’s beak.
  7. Set the cookies: Allow all the decorations and chocolate coating to fully set and harden before serving or storing the cookies to maintain their shape and appearance.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and facilitate easy cleanup.
  • Be careful not to overheat the chocolate to avoid burning; stir thoroughly during melting.
  • Allow cookies to set at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container to keep them fresh and maintain texture.
  • For a fun twist, substitute dark chocolate with milk or white chocolate melting wafers.
