Bat Nutter Butters

Decorating cookies for Halloween is a rite of passage at my house. Heck, anything kitchen related is a rite of passage. That means, any time I can let the littles start earning their ‘stripes’ early, I’m all for it. And these Bat Nutter Butters are a perfect opportunity for just that. It lets them play around in the kitchen, decorate awesome snacks (usually for themselves and their friends), and it lets us build memories together that will last a lifetime. Or, at least memories I’ll always cherish. Have fun!

What You Need To Make Bat Nutter Butters:

• Dark brown candy melts
• Nutter Butter cookies
• Candy Eyes
• Miniature Reeses Peanut Butter Cups
• White Decorating Gel
• Parchment Paper

How To Make Bat Nutter Butters:

Melt the brown candy melts according to package instructions.

Prepare your area by placing a sheet of parchment paper on your counter.  Parchment paper is vital as it makes sure the cookies won’t stick!

Unwrap the Reese’s Cups. Using the decorating gel, place a dot on the back of the candy eyes.

Attach two candy eyes to the Reese’s Cup.  Set aside.

Dip the cookies into the brown candy melts and evenly coat.  

Lay the covered Nutter Butter cookie on the parchment paper.

Working quickly, place the Reese’s Cup on the middle of the cookie before the candy hardens.  

Add a smile using the decorating gel.

Let sit and the candy to harden.
