Nutter Butter Babies (baby Shower)

Total Time: 40 mins Preparation Time: 40 mins

Ingredients

• 4 ounces pink candy melts (i used candy melts with pink food coloring)
• 4 ounces blue candy melts
• 16 round chocolate candy melts, unmelted (faces)
• black decorating gel (and a fine-tipped paint brush)
• 16 nutter butter sandwich cookies
• wax paper

Recipe

• 1 in a small dish, microwave (50% power) the pink candy melts. don't over cook. if you do, add a small bit of vegetable shortening.
• 2 pink babies: dip 8 nutter butter cookies into the pink candy, the place on wax paper to set up. before the candy shell hardens, press a round candy melt into the upper section of the cookie, creating the baby's face. allow to harden.
• 3 blue babies: repeat the above directions. allow to harden.
• 4 when the candy coating has hardened, squirt a little bit of black decorating gel onto the wax paper. using a fine-tipped paint brush, draw the baby's eyes, nose, and mouth on the candy melt. you can also create those features by piping icing, but i find it easier to draw them.
• 5 allow to harden, then serve.
