What an awesome idea – Use Nutter Butter cookies and dip in melted white chocolate – immediately sprinkle the hat with colored sugar and add a dot of white chocolate for the tip of hat. Add white chocolate for eyes and nose and on top of that add mini chocolate chips to eyes and a red hot or other candy choice for the nose.
These turkey cupcakes are so cool to make for Thanksgiving and even though they look like a whole lot of time went into them it was simpler then you think.
~Make you favorite cupcakes and cool.
~Melt candy melts or chocolate chips and dip top of cupcakes into it and allow to harden. (If you use chocolate chips are a small spoonful of corn syrup to make the chocolate easier to work with.)
~The head – the picture shows fondant being used but lets use half of a Nutter Butter cookie dipped into the melted chocolate and then leave to dry on the side.
~Start with yellow icing and make a rippled edging along one half of the cupcake. When done squeeze the icing back into a bowl and add more coloring to that icing to get layers of yellow, yellow-orange, orange, orange-red, red, and a maroon color (by adding a very small amount of black or purple food coloring to the red).
~Top with Nutter Butter cookie that has pipped eyes, nose and goblet.
Would be great for an extra special treat for your Thanksgiving dinner party – the kids will especially love them.
So simple and so cool – your kids and party guests are going to love them.
You will need a package of Nutter Butter cookies, bag of white chocolate chip cookies (or almond bark) and small chocolate chips.
Melt chocolate/almond bark in chocolate melting bowl on stove and dip one end of the Nutter Butter cookie into it. Let these rest in a mini cupcake pan with the melted chocolate leaning to the top. Have a pair of extra hands stick two mini chocolate chips (or you could use mini M&M’s) for the eyes.
Use at a party or for munchies while passing out the candy! Have a Happy Halloween and stay safe.
Dip Nutter Butters into melted chocolate or chill Nutter Butters and dip into candy shell (the stuff you buy for ice cream that goes on as a liquid but hardens as a candy shell. Drag with a toothpick little ridges at the base of the wings. Place a dot of melted chocolate at the top and stick a brown M&M onto it. Place two dots of melted chocolate at the top of the M&M and drag (with a toothpick) up to create two ears. Pipe two dots of colored icing (powdered sugar with a few drops of food coloring just to make it almost runny). Put two drops of melted chocolate for the center of eyes.
Delicious treat for a Halloween party or for an added bonus to a treat bag. If you love Nutter Butters like i do this will surely be a scary little treat you will want to make.
