How to Make Nutter Butter Babies:

Step 1. Start by melting the 12 ounces of white chocolate along with the 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a double boiler. If you do not have a double boiler, see the Pro Tips section below on how to make one with pots and pans.

Step 2. Stir the chocolate, and once it is mostly melted, turn the heat off entirely and stir until fully melted. This method will keep the chocolate smooth as it will not be over heated. Now you can add the food coloring of your choice until it is at your desired color.

Step 3. Line a tray with parchment paper and begin dipping your nutter butters. Grab the top of the cookie, dip, and angle the top in the melted chocolate on each side to make the appearance of a blanket swaddle. Set the cookie on the parchment paper to cool. Repeat for each cookie.

Step 4. Once all of the cookies are chocolate coated, lightly dip the edge of a spatula in the chocolate, and use it to make diagonal line on each cookie to give the appearance of the edge of the blanket.

Step 5. Use your black with a thin tip to create a swirl at the top of each cookie and 2 eyes.

Step 6. Allow your cookies to sit for at least 1 hour, or over night to fully cool.

Enjoy!

Pro Tips:

How to make a double boiler: Use a larger pot for the bottom boiler, and a smaller pot or heat safe glass for the top boiler. Make sure the top boiler is small enough to fit in the bottom boiler, but large enough to be suspended at least 2 inches from the bottom of it. Add 2 inches of water to the bottom boiler/pot, bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and add the top boiler/pot along with the chocolate chips and tablespoon coconut oil.

Using coconut oil in your chocolate will help it to melt more smoothly and will make it softer and shinier when it dries on your strawberries.

It is important to not let your chocolate get too hot when melting, or it will become thick, stiff, and not as smooth. Prevent this by not allowing the top pot of your double boiler to touch the hot water, and but using the lowest heat you can that still allows the chocolate to melt.

If you do not have a stove, you can melt your chocolate in the microwave. Add the chocolate chips and oil to a bowl and microwave in 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until it is fully melted.

What To Do With The Leftovers:

Storing:

Store these in an air tight container at room temperature.
