Nutter Butter Easter Chicks
These no-bake Easter treats turn classic Nutter Butter cookies into cute chick characters using candy melts and a few colorful candies. Perfect for spring dessert tables or holiday place settings.
Ingredients
- 1 (12-ounce) bag yellow candy melts
- 12 Nutter Butter cookies
- 24 orange M&Ms
- 24 yellow M&Ms
- 12 orange mini M&Ms
- 24 black nonpareils
- 12–30 red mini M&Ms optional
Instructions
- Melt yellow candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip each Nutter Butter into the melted coating, using a fork to lift out and gently tap off excess.
- Place dipped cookie on prepared tray.
- While coating is still wet, add two yellow M&Ms for wings, one orange mini M&M for a beak, two black nonpareils for eyes, and two orange M&Ms at the bottom for feet.
- If desired, add red mini M&Ms to the top for a comb.
- Let cookies set completely at room temperature. Refrigeration may speed up setting but could affect the appearance of candy details.
Notes
- Store the decorated cookies in a single layer in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. If stacking is necessary, place wax paper or parchment between layers to protect the decorations. Avoid storing in the refrigerator, as the candy coating and M&M details may become cloudy or bleed from condensation.
