STEP 2: Coat nutter butters in yellow candy


Once you have got your ingredients, it's time to get started with your fun back to school snacks! Put 2 cups of your yellow candy melts into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 2-3 minutes, making sure to stir every 30 seconds or so.

Then, use a fork to dip your nutter butters into the melted yellow candy. Allow any excess to drip off before transferring the nutter butters onto some parchment paper and freezing for about 5-8 minutes.

STEP 3: Prepare chocolate candy


Next, place 1 cup of your chocolate candies into a microwave safe bowl and microwave for about 2-3 minutes, making sure to stir every 30 seconds or so. Fill a pastry bag with the melted chocolate candy melts and cut off a very small tip. 

Optionally, you can attach a small round piping tip for easy decorating.

STEP 4: Decorate your fun back to school snacks


Now for the fun part! Well... the most fun anyway! Let the kids get creative. Help them in drawing 1/2 - 1 inch lines across the bottom of the nutter butter cookies going lengthwise. Then draw numbers above the inch lines and allow it to harden.
