NUTTER BUTTER EASTER CHICKS

Steps:

• Cut the Tic Tacs in half to form the chick's beak. Set aside.
• 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.
• 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.
• Pipe eyes on each chick. Add eyebrows or eye lashes if you like -- I think it gives them more personality.
• Beak: Attach the beak using a bit of melted candy coating.

NUTTER BUTTER EASTER BUNNIES

Steps:

• Lay a sheet of wax paper on the counter top. Mix together the pink food coloring and the granulated sugar (or use pre-colored sugar).
• Cut each marshmallow in half to form two circles. Then cut each circle in half. Press the sticky part of the marshmallow into the pink sugar. Shake off the excess, and set aside.
• Melt the white candy melts as instructed on the package. I use the microwave. Dip the Nutter Butter cookies into the melted chocolate, shake off the excess and lay on the wax paper. Before the chocolate sets, position the ears at the top of the bunny head and press into the candy coating.
• Allow to coating to harden for 20-30 minutes. If the ears don't adhere to the bunny head, you can use a bit of white frosting or additional melted candy to re-attach the ears later.
• Face: Using a tube of black decorating gel, pipe two eyes on each cookie. Next pipe on the nose, using the pink/red decorating icing. At this point I allow the nose icing to harden for 10-15 minutes so I don't smear it when applying the whiskers.
• Mouth/Whiskers: You can pipe these on, but I found it was easier to squirt a small amount of black decorating gel onto the wax paper, then use a fine-tipped paint brush to dray on the mouth and whiskers.

NUTTER BUTTER EASTER CHICKS

Steps:

• Cut Starburst into 3 rectangular strips (1/4" x 3/4")
• Cut each of those in half, creating 6 - 1/4" x 3/8" rectangles.
• Now cut each of those diagonally creating 12 triangles for beaks.
• You are going to repeat this process on the other 2 Starbursts to create 24 triangles that you will make 2 cuts in each and separate to make toes on the feet.
• Set beaks and feet aside.
• Heat Yellow Candy Chips by microwaving for 30 seconds stirring and repeating until melted. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes.
• Lay cookie in melted candy and spoon mixture over cookie to coat completely.
• Carefully remove from candy so the cookie doesn't come apart, and let excess candy drip off.
• Lay cookie on wax paper.
• Place mini chocolate chips for eyes.
• Place beaks and feet.
• Refrigerate to set chocolate.
