Ingredients
Essentials
- 15 pieces Nutter Butter cookies (regular sandwich style)
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter (use Jif for consistent texture)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream
- 1/8 teaspoon table salt
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar (confectioners’ sugar)
- 20 ounces pink confectionery coating (Candy Melts or similar), melted for dipping
- 4 ounces pink confectionery coating (Candy Melts), grated for sprinkling
- 1 piece parchment paper or silicone mat for cooling
Optional Add-ons
- small edible pearls or nonpareils in soft pink or white for subtle accent
- edible glitter or luster dust for shimmer on dry coating
- thin ribbon or mini clothespins for themed packaging if gifting
- mini cupcake liners or lace doilies for presentation on serving trays
- white or pale gold candy melts to pipe tiny details (bows or straps) if desired
Instructions
Preparation
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or a silicone mat. Set out cookies, tools, and melted coating.
- Carefully split each Nutter Butter cookie and scrape the peanut butter filling into a bowl. Keep the cookie halves intact and set them aside.
Make the Peanut Butter Fudge Center
- In a microwave-safe bowl combine peanut butter, butter, heavy cream, and salt.
- Microwave on high for 30 seconds, stir, then heat for 20 more seconds and stir again until smooth.
Add Powdered Sugar
- Stir in powdered sugar until a thick, scoopable mixture forms. Fold in reserved cookie filling for extra texture and flavor.
Portion the Centers
- Use a scoop or teaspoon to portion about 30 small balls, rolling between palms. Press one end slightly flat or shape into a slipper.
Assemble the Slippers
- Press each peanut butter ball onto one side of a Nutter Butter cookie. Indent slightly at the toe to resemble a slipper.
Dip and Decorate
- Dip the top of each cookie slipper into the melted pink coating. Sprinkle with grated pink candy melts while warm. Set on parchment to dry completely.
Finish and Store
- Let cookies set at room temperature for about 20–30 minutes, or chill briefly if needed. Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers.
Notes
Make-ahead tip: Form peanut butter centers and chill for 24-48 hours, then assemble and dip before the event. Fully assembled cookies can be made up to 48 hours in advance.
