NUTTER BUTTER SANTAS RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Melt the white chocolate in the microwave. I suggest you put them in at 75% power and stir every 30 seconds until melted. I always do this in batches. I melt a batch for the hats and then one for the beards. Dip one end of each cookie in the white chocolate then cover with red sugar. Set aside to cool. Once cool, dip the edge of the other end in the white chocolate to make the beard. Using the white chocolate, place two mini chocolate chips for the eyes, a red hot for the nose, and add a drop for the pom-pom on the end of the hat. Let cool and you're ready to go!

NUTTER BUTTER TRUFFLES

Steps:

• Place the cookies in a food processor and pulse them until they are fine crumbs. Alternately, you can use a mixer if you watch it carefully and stir the cookies so that they are evenly crushed.
• Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and peanut butter, and stir with a spoon until the mixture is a homogenous paste. It should be easy to mold into balls, but not too wet or soggy.
• Use a small candy or cookie scoop, or a teaspoon, to shape small balls. Roll them between your hands to get them perfectly round, and place on a cookie sheet covered with aluminum foil. Although the balls can be dipped right away, they hold together better if they are refrigerated for at least an hour before being dipped.
• After the candy centers have chilled, place the chocolate candy coating in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave it until melted, stirring after every minute to prevent overheating.
• Using dipping tools or a fork, dip each peanut ball in the chocolate candy coating and replace it on the foil-covered baking sheet. If desired, top the truffles with chopped peanuts while the chocolate is still wet.
• Refrigerate the truffles to set the chocolate for about 20 minutes. Store Nutter Butter Truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
