Ingredients
I Package of Nutter Butter Cookies OR Oreos
1 Package of Orange Mini M&M’s
3 Cups of Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
10 Ounces of White Chocolate Melting Wafers
3 Tablespoons of Baking Gulf Wax
1 Package of Royal Icing Eyeballs
Directions
- Using a pair of microwave safe bowls, melt your white chocolate and milk chocolate wafters. After 30 seconds of heat, add in the baking Gulf Wax to obtain smooth and evenly softened products. Place back in the microwave for 15 seconds and continue to stir until both chocolates are equally melted.
- Prepare a metal baking tray with wax parchment paper for a later step.
- Stick the prongs of a fork into your selected cookie and dip it into your melted milk chocolate. Be sure to evenly coat the treat before setting it down on the tray. Immediately place on your icing eyeballs and M&M feet/beaks.
- After all of your cookies have been dipped and decorated, set the tray in the fridge or freezer to set for about ten minutes.
- Once your penguins have hardened, pull out your melted white chocolate. If it’s harden again, just repeat the microwave directions from step one. Use the back of a spoon to press a small white chocolate circle onto the “belly” of your penguin. Place back in the fridge to harden and enjoy!
- After creating and taste testing your final project, package the cookies in induvial plastic bags for a sharable treat or stack them in Tupperware to bring to the tailgate.
