Equipment

12 candy sticks or lollipop sticks

Ingredients

▢ 12 Nutter Butter cookies
▢ 1 cup (6oz, 175g) dark chocolate candy melts
▢ 24 candy eyeballs
▢ 12 small round red candies, Cherry Sours or red M&M's
▢ 12 pretzel twists, broken into pieces for antlers

Instructions

Break pretzel twists into pieces to create antlers. Set aside, keeping the best-looking pieces for decorating.
Gently twist each Nutter Butter cookie to separate the halves. Dip one end of a candy stick (about 1-1.5 inches) into melted chocolate and press it into the peanut butter filling. Place the other half on top and press together. Let stand 10 minutes to set.
Melt dark chocolate candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl at 50% power for 1 minute. Stir, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until smooth.
Using the stick as a handle, dip the entire cookie into the chocolate, coating all sides. Tap off any excess and place on parchment paper.
While the chocolate is still wet, press two pretzel pieces into the top of the cookie for antlers. Add two candy eyeballs below the antlers and a red candy at the bottom for the nose. Let stand 10 minutes to fully set.

Notes

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
