Ingredients
6 Pre-Baked Cupcakes
2 Cups Buttercream Icing
6 Nutter Butter Cookies
4 oz White Almond Bark/White Chocolate/White Candy Melts
Candy Eyes
Instructions
1. Add the white chocolate to a microwave-safe large bowl.
2. Melt in increments of 20 seconds stirring in between each until smooth.
If you don't have a microwave melt your chocolate in a heat-proof safe bowl over a pan of hot water using the double boiler method.
3. Take a baking sheet and cover it with parchment paper.
4. Dip the Nutter Butter cookies in the melted Almond Bark or white chocolate until they're fully coated.
Remember to keep hold of the excess chocolate. You'll be needing this later.
5. Place on parchment paper and put in the fridge for 5-10 minutes.
6. Spoon the remaining white chocolate into a piping bag.
If the chocolate has begun to harden pop it back in the microwave and heat for 15 seconds.
7. Remove your coated cookies from the fridge.
8. To create the bandages pipe the remaining white chocolate over the cookies going back and forth in a zig-zag pattern.
9. Add the candy eyes.
10. Leave to set completely.
11. Add the buttercream to a piping bag (fitted with a 1M tip)
12. Make a swirl of buttercream frosting on top of each cupcake.
13. To finish top each cupcake by adding a Nutter Butter mummy to the side of each white frosting swirl.
Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. Do not store them in the refrigerator as the candy eyes can bleed when they get damp.
Tips:
Depending on the room temperature the white chocolate can set fast so you may have to work quickly.
If you find the melted chocolate is too thick to pipe add a tablespoon of coconut oil to help smooth it out.
When piping on the bandages if you don't have a piping or pastry bag you can use a plastic bag. Pour in the melted chocolate and seal shut. Snip off a corner of the bag and use it to drizzle on your chocolate bandages.
