• 12 ounces yellow candy melts or 12 ounces chocolate candy melts, with
• yellow food coloring (must be an oil-based coloring)

• black decorating gel (eyes) or icing (eyes)
• wax paper

Recipe

• 1 cut the tic tacs in half to form the chick's beak. set aside.
• 2 melt the candy coating as directed on the package. i use the microwave. if using candy melts, add enough yellow food coloring to get a bright yellow tint.
• 3 dip the nutter butter cookies in the melted candy coating, shake off the excess, then lay on the wax paper. allow the coating to harden, about 10-20 minutes.
• 4 pipe eyes on each chick. add eyebrows or eye lashes if you like -- i think it gives them more personality.
