Nutter Butter Easter Chicks

• Nutter Butter sandwich cookies16
• ounces yellow candy melts or 12 ounces white chocolate candy melts, with↗12 ounces
• yellow food coloring (must be an oil-based coloring)↗
• orange Tic Tac mints (beak)8
• black decorating gel (eyes) or icing (eyes)↗
• wax paper

Step-by-step instructions

1. 1

   Cut the Tic Tacs in half to form the chick's beak. Set aside.

2. 2

   Melt the candy coating as directed on the package. I use the microwave. If using white candy melts, add enough yellow food coloring to get a bright yellow tint.

3. 3

   Dip the Nutter Butter cookies in the melted candy coating, shake off the excess, then lay on the wax paper. Allow the coating to harden, about 10-20 minutes.

4. 4

   Pipe eyes on each chick. Add eyebrows or eye lashes if you like -- I think it gives them more personality.

5. 5

   Beak: Attach the beak using a bit of melted candy coating.
