Prep Time:9 minutes
chilling time:1 hour
Total Time:1 hour 9 minutes

Ingredients

  • 16 Nutter Butter cookies
  • 16 orange M&M's cut in half
  • 16 yellow M&M's cut in half
  • 32 small candy eyes
  • 3 tablespoons orange icing
  • 1 12-ounce package yellow melting wafers

Instructions

  • In a medium heat-safe bowl, melt the yellow melting wafers according to the package directions. Stir well so the candy is smooth and free of clumps.
  • Using a fork, lower each cookie into the melted yellow candy. Turn to coat. Lift it out and let the extra candy drip back into the bowl. Place the coated cookie on parchment paper and let it harden.
  • Once the yellow coating is set, use the orange icing to attach the candy eyes. Add the orange M&M halves for the beak and feet. Use the yellow M&M halves for the wings.
  • With the same orange icing, draw a small line at the top of the cookie above the eyes to make simple “hair.”
  • Place the finished cookies in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour so the icing can fully harden.
  • Serve at room temperature or chilled.
