Grinch Decorated Nutter Butters
These festive, no bake grinch decorated nutter butters use just 4 simple ingredients. Add a fun grinchy flair to your holidays with these cute cookies.
Ingredients
- 10 Nutter butters
- 6 oz Green chocolate melts
- 2 oz Yellow chocolate melts
- 2 oz Black chocolate melts
Instructions
- Begin by putting the green chocolate melts in a microwave safe bowl. Melt the chocolate 30 seconds at a time until it is completely liquified.
- Dip 1 nutter butter at a time into the green melted chocolate, make sure it is completely covered.
- Use a fork or mini spatula to remove the nutter butter from the chocolate and place it on sheet of parchment paper.
- Repeat these steps for each nutter butter and then place them in the freezer for 8 minutes to harden.
- Next lay the nutter butters horizontally and use a toothpick to trace an oval on both ends of the nutter butter.
- Melt the black and yellow chocolate following the same steps as above. Put each color in its own piping bag and cut a tiny hole on the tip.
- Pipe the yellow melting chocolate inside of each oval shape. Let it sit for 2-3 minutes to dry.
- Next pipe a small “U” in the middle of the yellow ovals. Immediately trace around the yellow ovals with the black chocolate. Let the chocolate sit for 2-3 minutes to dry.
- Now using the same black chocolate pipe the Grinch’s fluffy eyebrows. To do this, start right above each eye and a pipe curved wiggly line above them. The larger the wiggles the better.
- Pipe a small circle in the middle of the nutter butter below the eyes to represent the Grinch’s nose. Let the cookies sit another 3 minutes to dry.
Notes
Tips + Storage
- Make sure to stir the melting chocolate between each 30 second heating to ensure that it melts evenly.
- If chocolate starts to harden while decorating, microwave it for an additional 15 seconds.
- After dipping nutter butters in green melting chocolate, speed up the hardening by putting them in the freezer for about 8 minutes.
- To add a bit more detail to your Grinch’s eyes, you can use the toothpick to drag some of the wet black chocolate under the eyes to give the appearance of bags.
- Make sure to let chocolate harden for 2 - 3 minutes after each decorating step so it doesn't smudge.
- These Grinch eye nutter butter cookies can be stored in air tight container in a cool dry place for 2-3 days. Or they can be frozen for up to a year.
