Directions

Using a double boiler, melt the orange candy melt

Once the orange candy melt starts to melt, add in about 3-4 tbsp of coconut oil and mix until smooth

Once melted, take a nutterbutter and dip one side of the cookie into the candy melt.

Carefully shake the nutterbutter to get rid of excess chocolate

Carefully turn the nutterbutter so that you can dip the other side of the nutterbutter.

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 nutterbutter so that you can get rid of the excess candy melt

Place nutterbutter onto the cookie sheet and repeat steps with remaining nutterbutters

Let the orange candy melt completely dry on the nutterbutter before doing the hat

Scoop some of the orange candy melt into a piping bag and set aside

While the nutterbutters 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 nutterbutters are hardened, dip the other end into the green candy melt to create the hat

Lightly shake the nutterbutter 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 nutterbutter

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 nutterbutter

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

Cut a small tip off the orange candy melt piping bag and pipe on swirls onto the beard on the nutterbutters

Let all the finishing touches harden, about 30 minutes before enjoying!
