To make your own Nutter Butter cookie mummies, you’ll need:
- Nutter Butter cookies. Since Nutter Butters have a unique shape, they’re perfect for making mummies! You can use regular or double stuffed Nutter Butters for this quick recipe.
- White chocolate chips or white melting chocolate. To turn your Nutter Butters into mummies, all you need is white chocolate! You can use white chocolate chips, white chocolate bars, white melting chocolate, or even almond bark.
- Candy eyes. Finish decorating your mummy cookies with the help of some candy eyes. To give the mummies a funny look, I used one large eye and one small eye for each cookie.
How to Make Nutter Butter Mummy Cookies
These no bake Halloween mummy cookies couldn’t be simpler to make! Since you’re using premade cookies, there’s no need to turn on your oven to make these cute treats!
The first step to making these no bake Halloween treats is melting your chocolate. If you’re using melting chocolate or almond bark to coat the outside of your mummy cookies, just follow the instructions on the package for melting your chocolate.
If you’re using white chocolate chips, place the chips in a microwave-safe shallow bowl and microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring between each interval. Make sure not to overheat your white chocolate or it will harden and become unusable.
Sometimes, white chocolate can get a little too thick for dipping. If you’re having that issue, add 1/2 a teaspoon of vegetable oil or melted coconut oil to the chocolate and stir to mix. Continue adding more oil in 1/2 teaspoon increments until the chocolate is your desired consistency.
Once the chocolate is melted, dip each cookie in and coat both sides. After the cookie is fully coated, use a fork to lift the covered cookie out of the bowl. Lightly tap the handle of the fork on the side of the bowl to knock off the excess chocolate, then transfer the chocolate covered cookie to a piece of parchment or wax paper to cool and set.
Once all the cookies are coated in chocolate, transfer the leftover chocolate to a piping bag. Give the chocolate on the cookies time to set. You can speed up the process by transfering the covered cookies to the fridge.
The chocolate in your piping bag may start to harden up while you’re waiting for the chocolate on the cookies to harden. If that happens, place the piping bag with the chocolate in the microwave. Make sure to fold the top over so the chocolate doesn’t leak out. Heat it in 20 second intervals until the chocolate has melted.
When the first layer of chocolate has hardened on your cookies, cut the tip of the piping bag off and drizzle the chocolate over the top of each cookie. Vary the direction of the drizzle to make it look more like mummy bandages.
Before the mummy bandages harden, press one large and one small candy eye onto the melted chocolate. After that, allow the bandages to harden before serving your cookies.
Mummy Cookies Recipe Ideas
See how easy it is to make your own adorable Nutter Butter mummy cookies for Halloween without ever turning on your oven?
On top of being super easy to make, this recipe is also simple to customize. Try these recipe adjustments and additions will help you create a spooky dessert for any Halloween celebration:
- Try different types of cookies. I like the look of the Nutter Butter cookies thanks to their unique shape. But you could also try different storebought cookies to get the same effct. Milano cookies, Oreos, or even Chips Ahoy would work. Just coat the cookies in chocolate and decorate as described in the recipe to turn any storebought cookie into a mummy for Halloween.
- Try chocolate chip eyes. Instead of using candy eyes for your mummy cookies, you can use chocolate chips to make this recipe even easier. If you don’t have any candy eyes at home, just flip a chocolate chip upside down to turn it into an eye. Press two chocolate chips into the top of your cookies while the white chocolate is still soft to create some spooky mummies without any special ingredients.
