These adorable, decorated Carrot and Easter Chick Nutter Butter Cookies are a fun and easy Easter dessert.
Last month when I was planning all my blog posts for the month of April, I knew I wanted to share some Easter recipes. And not just a few recipes, you see the first few years of this blog I had fun theme weeks all the time (remember that s’mores week I tried to have last month).
I had so much fun creating those weeks that I had wanted to bring you an entire Easter themed week (like I have done in the past). Well I started creating and photographing recipes and then didn’t get it finished.
However, I think it is time that we have some Easter versions too! There are lots of Easter Nutter Butter Cookie ideas floating all over Pinterest. Bunnies, chicks, etc. These are my versions… an adorable Easter Chick and a cute carrot, perfect for any spring gathering or even to top a carrot cake!

- Mini chocolate chips
- Orange flower shaped sprinkles
- Orange heart shaped sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet or plate with wax paper.

Remove from microwave and stir. Return to microwave for an additional 30 seconds. Stir again and repeat heating and stirring process until candy melts are smooth and melted.
- Using a fork, working with one cookie at a time, dip the entire Nutter Butter cookie in melted chocolate. Allow excess chocolate to drip off. If desired, use a small off-set spatula to smooth the melted chocolate over the top of the cookie.
- Place dipped cookie on wax paper lined baking sheet. Working quickly, decorate the chocolate covered cookie with mini chocolate chips (the eyes), the flower sprinkles (the chicken feet) and the heart shaped sprinkle, pointed end up (the beak).

Notes
NOTE: Add 1-2 orange candy melts to the yellow candy melts for a darker yellow color.
