Nutter Butter Zombie Fingers
Equipment
- piping bags
- Medium Size Microwave Safe Bowl
- Small Microwave Safe Bowls
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 10 Nutter Butter cookies
- Sliced almonds
- 5 oz Green candy melts
- 1 oz Black candy melts
- 2 oz Pink candy melts
Instructions
- Start by melting the green candy melts in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each round, until the candy melts are smooth and fully melted.
- Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the green coating, making sure it's fully covered.
- Using a fork, lift the cookie out of the bowl and gently tap off any excess coating. Place the coated cookies on a parchment-lined surface.
- While the coating is still wet, press a sliced almond horizontally near the top of each cookie to resemble a fingernail.
- Transfer all the cookies to the freezer for about 5–6 minutes so the coating can set.
- In the meantime, melt the black candy melts in a small bowl using the same method as before. Once melted, spoon the candy melts into a piping bag and snip a very small opening at the tip.
- Pipe two horizontal lines below the almond to mimic finger joints. Then add small stitch-like lines in random spots across the cookie to create a stitched-up look.
- While the black chocolate sets, melt the pink candy melts the same way and add them to a new piping bag.
- Pipe a pink outline just beneath the almond to enhance the nail look. Then pipe the pink melts over the bottom edge of the cookie to give a gory, severed appearance. Let the cookies rest for 6–8 minutes to harden completely.
- Once set, your spooky severed fingers are ready to serve. Enjoy!
Notes
- Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- This recipe is easy to double if you're making a bigger batch.
- Don’t worry about perfection; messy and uneven details add to the creepy, realistic effect!
