Nutter Butter Mummies Recipe

Let’s talk Halloween treats for a minute. I’m super into cute Halloween treats, like this Nutter Butter Mummies recipe. I’m not into creepy treats, like hot dogs shaped like fingers.

I blame the Halloween party at my cousin’s local library that I went to when I was young. Super young, like five or six. One of the snacks was a bowl with “eyeballs” in it. Oh, they were so slimly and creepy and we were told to just hold them in our hands.

Gross enough, right?

But then they told us to eat them, and me and my cousins were not about to eat some eyeballs. No. Thank. You.

Even after my mom swore up and down that these eyeballs were just grapes with the skin peeled off, I was not having it.

Maybe that’s why all my treats are adorable.

Nutter Butter Mummies Recipe

Vanilla almond bark, Nutter Butter cookies, and candy eyeballs.

Nutter Butter Mummies Ingredients:

How To Make Nutter Butter Mummies:

Vanilla almond bark pieces in a black and red bowl.

Melt one third of the vanilla almond bark according to the package.

The easiest way to do this is to microwave it on high for one minute and stir, then microwave and stir at 30 second intervals until the almond bark is completely melted.

Melted vanilla almond bark in a ziptop bag.

Pour the melted vanilla almond bark into a ziptop plastic bag (or a pastry bag, if you have one of those). Cut a small section of the tip of the ziptop bag.

Pipe zigzags of the vanilla almond bark across the Nutter Butter cookies. Let them cool slightly.

If the almond bark has melted while you were waiting for the cookies to cool, remelt it.

Quickly, before the almond bark cools, put two candy eyes on each cookie.

Set the cookies in the fridge for about 20 minutes, until the vanilla almond bark has hardened. Pop the cookies off the mat and put them in an airtight container, then put them back in the fridge.

Repeat the entire process two more times until you’ve made all the cookies.

Keep in mind that if you’re heavy handed with the vanilla almond bark, you may get less cookies out of the recipe. And if you’re light handed, you may get more cookies out of the recipe.

If you do end up with leftover almond bark, that’s great. You can just let it cool completely, and then you can store it. It will melt again next time you need it, unlike white chocolate chips which will only melt once. So if you use almond bark, you won’t have any waste if you end up with leftover bark.

Nutter Butter Mummies: Frequently Asked Questions

Can you use candy melts to make these mummy cookies?

Candy melts are great because they are so easy to work with. You heat them in the microwave, just like vanilla almond bark. And if you are working slowly and the candy melts harden, you can just melt them again. That won’t change the texture or consistency of the candy melts.

So, yes you can use white candy melts to make mummy cookies.

But, I wouldn’t recommend it because white candy melts taste fake. They’re not chocolate, even though so many people assume they are. They taste waxy.

And that’s find if you’re only using them as an accent. But these Nutter Butter Mummy Cookies use so much of the topping that they won’t taste good with candy melts. So vanilla almond bark is the way to go.

How do you store Nutter Butter Mummies?

Store these Nutter Butter mummy cookies in an airtight container in the fridge.

They’ll last up to two months in the fridge, and that’s a really long time. So, you could make these before Halloween when you have a little free time and still be able to serve fresh tasting cookies on the holiday.

If you aren’t planning on eating these right away, you can store them in the freezer. Cookies can be stored between eight to 12 months in the freezer, according to the USDA. So I guess you could make these this year and save them until next Halloween.

But these are so good, you’ll definitely eat them way before then.
