Calories: 137kcal
Ingredients
- 12 –16 Nutter Butter sandwich cookies
- 12 ounces chocolate candy melts milk, dark, or white
- 1 tablespoon shortening to thin the chocolate
- Red and green Christmas sprinkles
- Wax paper for setting
Instructions
Melt and Prepare the Chocolate
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate candy melts and shortening.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until the chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
Dip and Decorate
- Dip each Nutter Butter cookie halfway into the melted chocolate.
- Gently shake off any excess chocolate and lay the cookie flat on a sheet of wax paper.
- Immediately add red and green sprinkles on top of the melted chocolate before it sets.
- Repeat for all cookies.
Chill and Serve
- Place the cookies in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.
- Once hardened, transfer to a serving platter or pack them as gifts!
Notes
- Cookies will also set at room temperature in about 30 minutes if refrigeration isn't available.
- Shortening helps thin the chocolate but may leave a mild aftertaste. You can substitute with flavorless melting wafers if desired.
- Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
