Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 12 Nutter Butter cookies
- 24 pretzel twists (2 for each cookie)
- 12 pineapple-flavored Lifesaver candies (1 for each cupcake)
- White candy melts or vanilla flavored almond bark
- Chocolate candy melts or chocolate flavored almond bark
You will also need:
- Large open star tip (Wilton 1M Open Star Piping Tip)
- Piping bags
- Toothpick
Step-by-Step Instructions:
Preparation: Start by lining a baking sheet with waxed paper. This will provide a clean surface for drying your decorated cookies.
Dip the Pretzels: Melt the white candy according to the package instructions. Dip the pretzel twists into the melted candy, allowing the excess to drip off. Place the coated pretzels on the waxed paper and let them dry. Once dry, arrange the pretzels into pairs to form the wings.
Dip the Nutter Butter Cookies: Dip each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted candy, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess candy to drip back into the bowl. Place the coated cookie on the pretzel wings immediately, and gently press it down.
Add a pineapple-flavored Lifesaver candy on top of the cookie to create the halo. Allow the assembled cookies to dry completely.
Create the Angel’s Face: Melt the chocolate candy according to the package instructions. Using a toothpick, draw two half circles for the eyes and a larger dot for the mouth on the uncoated portion of each cookie. This step brings your angelic creations to life. Allow the chocolate details to dry completely.
