Equipment

  • Ramekins And Pan For Double Boiler Setuo
  • Piping Cones Optional
  • Chocolate Dipping Wand Or Fork
  • Wire Cooling Rack
  • Parchment paper
  • Toothpicks

Ingredients
  

  • ¼ Cup White Melting Chocolate For Grey
  • ¼ Cup Brown Melting Chocolate For Light Brown
  • ¼ Cup Brown Melting Chocolate
  • 2 tbsp. Black Melting Chocolate
  • 1 tbsp. Pink Melting Chocolate
  • ¼ tsp. Coconut Oil

Instructions
 

  • Set up a double boiler with a shallow pan and ramekins for each colour of chocolate.
  • Fill with water till halfway up the side of ramekins *careful not to get water inside them as it will seize the chocolate. Turn the heat to medium-low.
  • Add chocolates and a smidge of coconut oil to each, stirring to combine as they melt. *To create grey: combine 1 black melting chocolate with 1⁄4 cup white chocolate. To create very light brown: combine 1 white chocolate piece with 1⁄4 cup brown chocolate.
  • Using a wand or a fork, dip nutter butter cookies in grey and/or light brown chocolate until thoroughly coated. Hover above the dish as the chocolate drips off. Use a toothpick to pop any air bubbles that form. Set on a wire rack to harden
  • To create the ears, tear a strip of parchment paper. Place a nutter butter on the paper and gauge the size of the ears. Hand-drawn ears with a pencil. Fill pencil drawings with chocolate by using a piping bag or forming with a toothpick. *Make extra and put in the refrigerator to harden.
  • Work quickly to attach ears as the warmth of your fingers will melt the thin chocolate.
  • Using a toothpick, dip into the base colour of the face and attach ears by dabbing on back of ears or on the head where you plan to place the ears. A little goes a long way.
  • To create the mane, dip a toothpick into the black and fill in the donkey mane, creating waves.
  • Form the eyes by dipping a toothpick into the plain white chocolate and creating tiny slightly slanted oval eyes.
  • Dab a tiny dot of black in the center or off to the side to make them appear to be looking in a variety of directions.
  • Fill in a generous circle with white or grey for the muzzle and when it hardens, use a toothpick to dab slanted nostril marks and draw a smiling mouth.
  • Set to dry and harden. 
  • Your Nutter Butter party treats are ready to serve!

Notes

  • Use Nutter Butters as the base for each animal face—perfect shape and easy to decorate.
  • Dip in colored melted chocolate to match the animal (pink for pigs, white for sheep, etc.).
  • Pipe on details like ears and snouts with more melted chocolate or candy melts—super fun for kids to help with!
