  • Carefully shake the Nutter Butter to get rid of excess chocolate
  • Carefully turn the Nutter Butter so that you can dip the other side of the Nutter Butter
  • Once the sides are dipped, carefully dip the bottom of the cookie into the orange chocolate to create the beard of the leprechaun
  • Carefully shake the Nutter Butter so that you can get rid of the excess candy melt
  • Place Nutter Butter onto the cookie sheet and repeat steps with remaining Nutter Butters
  • Let the orange candy melt completely dry on the Nutter Butter before doing the hat
  • Scoop some of the orange candy melt into a piping bag and set aside
  • While the Nutter Butter are drying, melt the green candy melts
  • Add in 3-4 tbsp of coconut oil into the green candy melt to thin it out
  • Once the Nutter Butters are hardened, dip the other end into the green candy melt to create the hat
  • Lightly shake the Nutter Butter to get rid of the excess candy melt
  • Scoop some green candy melt into a piping bag and set aside
  • Add a small dollop of candy melt onto the back of the edible eyes to act as glue
  • Place the eyes onto the Nutter Butter
  • In a small microwave safe bowl, melt a few of the black candy melts in intervals of 30-45 seconds until completely melted
  • Mix in 1 tbsp of coconut oil to help thin out the candy melt
  • Scoop into a piping bag and set aside
  • Cut the tip off the green piping bag and pipe a line on the bottom of the green part of the Nutter Butter
  • Cut the tip off the black piping bag and pipe a line next to the green line
  • Add a small dot of black candy melt onto the back of the shamrock sprinkle and place in the top right corner of the hat
