Charlie Brown Nutter Butter Cookies Recipe: Peanut Butter Sandwich Treats

“I got a ROCK.” These Nutter Butter cookies are inspired by the classic Halloween special It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown. They’re simple, kid-friendly, and perfect for a Peanuts-themed party.

Ingredients:

• Nutter Butter cookies
• White candy coating wafers
• Graham crackers
• Black edible marker
• Small chocolate rock candy
• Optional: black food-coloring mist

Directions:

1. Melt the white candy coating wafers according to the package directions.
2. Trim off the bottom third of each Nutter Butter cookie and enjoy the scrap.
3. Place the remaining cookie on a fork and dip it into the melted white coating.
4. Coat the cookie completely, then tap the fork against the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
5. Set the coated cookie on parchment paper to rest.
6. Cut a small rectangle from a graham cracker to serve as the trick-or-treat bag and position it in the center of the coated cookie.
7. Top the graham cracker rectangle with a tiny piece of chocolate rock candy to resemble the “rock.”
8. Allow the coated cookie to dry fully.
9. Use the black edible marker to draw oval eyes. For a Charlie Brown look, add additional small black ovals as needed.
10. To create Pig-Pen’s dirty-sheet effect, draw short smudged lines with the marker and, if desired, very lightly mist the cookie with black food-coloring spray.
11. Arrange the finished cookies on a bed of chocolate candy rocks and serve.
