Alligator Cookies Ingredients
- 12 oz green candy melts
- 8 nutter butter cookies
- 16 candy eye sprinkles
- 40 white heart sprinkles
- 8 crown sprinkles
Alligator Cookies Instructions
1- Melt candy melts as directed on the bag. Each brand varies. I use a sweet tooth fairy and microwave it at 50 percent power for 2 minutes, then stir. Microwave at 50% power for another minute, then in 30-second intervals until fully melted.
2- Dip nutter butters into the green candy melts and place onto parchment paper. Quickly add a pair of eyes to each gator. Add 5 white hearts to the front for the teeth. Add one crown to the top of each.
3- If the candy melts dry, you may use a heat gun to lightly melt and add the sprinkles where needed.
4- Let dry and serve!
These alligator cookies are a fun, no-fuss way to get creative in the kitchen—no oven, no stress.
Kids love the goofy eyes and bright green color, and you’ll love how easy they are to make and share.
