Ingredients
32Nutter Butter Cookies(16 ounce package)
8ounceswhite candy melts(about 1 ½ cups)
1 ½Tablespoonsshortening
½cupplain M&M’s2 per cookie
¼cupmini semi-sweet chocolate chips2 per cookie
Instructions
Lay a piece of waxed paper or silicone liner on the countertop or on the back of a baking sheet (if it is on a baking sheet it is easier to move later if necessary).
Put the candy melts and shortening together in a dry, microwave-safe dish and microwave at half power for 20 seconds at a time, stirring after each time increment.
When only a few lumps remain, remove from the microwave and stir until smooth.
Take each Nutter Butter cookie apart, so that each cookie is in 2 halves.
Dip 1 inch of the popsicle stick into the white candy melts and place between the two cookie halves. Press the cookie halves firmly together. This acts as a “glue” to keep the popsicle inside of each cookie. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to set.
If the candy melts in the bowl have firmed up, remelt at half power for 20 seconds and stir.
Dip each cookie into the candy melts, holding by the popsicle stick, until they are fully coated.
Quickly place 2 M&M’s to the topside of each cookie before the candy melts have hardened.
To finish each eye, use a toothpick and the melted candy melts to “glue” a mini chocolate chip to the front of each M&M, making sure that some of the white chocolate is showing. It is easiest to take a small “dollop” of white on the toothpick and place it on the mini chocolate chip, leaving the chocolate chip on top, in the middle. When you place the chocolate chip on the m&m, you want a little white showing around the edges of the chocolate chip to act as a part of the eye.
For the mummy “bandages:” Drizzle white chocolate over each cookie with a spoon. Extend each mummy “bandage” past the side of each cookie so that it will look more realistic. Let your mummies dry completely before serving.
