Santa Nutter Butter Cookies: Your New Favorite No-Bake Holiday Treat!
Hey friends, Beau here from Feastical! The holidays are here, and you know what that means — cookies, cocoa, and cozy kitchen chaos. But between gift wrapping, decorating, and hunting for that one missing ornament hook, who has time to bake for hours?
Ingredients
-
24 Nutter Butter cookies – The perfect peanut-shaped base
-
1½ cups white chocolate chips or vanilla almond bark
-
1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
-
Red sanding sugar or sprinkles – For Santa’s hat
-
24 red M&M’s – Santa’s nose
-
48 mini chocolate chips – Santa’s eyes
-
24 white chocolate chips or mini marshmallows (cut in half) – Pom-poms
Instructions
-
Melt the Chocolate
Place white chocolate and coconut oil in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. -
Dip for the Beard & Hat
Hold a Nutter Butter by the edges. Dip the top third into the white chocolate (for Santa’s hat) and the bottom third (for the beard). Let excess drip off, leaving the center plain for the face. -
Add the Hat Sparkle
While the chocolate is still wet, dip the top section into red sanding sugar to make Santa’s hat. -
Add the Pom-Pom
Press a white chocolate chip or half marshmallow onto the tip of the hat. -
Create Santa’s Face
Press two mini chocolate chips for eyes and a red M&M for the nose. If they don’t stick, dab a little melted chocolate on the back as glue. -
Let Them Set
Place cookies on parchment paper. Let sit 20–30 minutes at room temperature (or 10–15 minutes in the fridge) until chocolate firms up.
Notes
-
Thin chocolate with a bit of coconut oil or shortening if too thick.
-
Work quickly so decorations stick before the chocolate hardens.
-
Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 5 days.
-
Display idea: Arrange on a platter with shredded coconut “snow” — it’s holiday magic!
