Super Cute Leprechaun Nutter Butters
Ingredients
Instructions
  1. Melt green candy melts according to package directions. Be careful not to overcook candy, or it will become too thick. Add 1 teaspoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening if it is too thick.
  2. While candy melts are in progress, prepare baking sheet with waxed paper.
  3. Dip 1/3 of cookie into melted green chocolate. Shake off excess, and place on waxed paper to harden.
  4. After all the cookies are dipped, pour remaining candy melts into a piping bag with a fine tip or a zip-top freezer bag with a small corner snipped. Create a line of candy melts across each cookie where the dipped area meets the cookie to create a hat brim. Repeat the line if desired to create a thicker looking brim. Allow to set completely before proceeding.
  5. Melt orange candy and place in a piping bag, freezer bag, or squeeze bottle. Apply the candy melts to the cookie to create a beard. Allow to set completely before proceeding.
  6. Melt the back candy and pour into a piping bag with a fine tip or a zip-top freezer bag with a small corner snipped. Create a line of candy melts across each cookie just above the hat brim. Immediately press a shamrock sprinkle into the black line.
  7. Using a toothpick, apply a small amount of black candy melts to the back of a candy eyeball. Press into place on the leprechaun’s face and repeat with the other eye.
  8. Allow candy coating to harden before serving or packaging.
Recipe Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature. Placing in the refrigerator may cause the cookie to soften.
