Little Peanut Baby Shower Favors - tray with bags of cookies This is a cute shower favor or dessert at your baby shower since it is edible.
Color coded, it's really a cute favor.

Total Time: 3 hours

Supplies:

1 package of Nutter Butter cookies
1 package of your chosen color candy wafers
1 package candy eyes
ribbon
plastic bags
waxed paper
toothpick or two
(optional: food color pens if you don't want to make the pacifiers yourself)

Steps:

Melt your candy wafers in the microwave or on the stove in a dish in hot water according to your package directions! I did mine in small amounts at a time. (Make sure everything is dry since water seizes up candy melts!)

Dot some of the backs of the candy eyes with a dot of your candy melts to use as the pacifiers at the end. Make enough for however many packs you intent to make. Let them dry completely by putting them in your freezer for a short while.

One at a time dip one end of the cookie into the melted candy and place on a piece of waxed paper or parchment. When you have a full tray place in the freezer for an hour.

With your melted candy and a toothpick, glue the eyes and pacifiers onto the individual cookies. It's a slow process so just try to take your time and enjoy it!

Leave it all out to dry or even place it in the freezer for 10 minutes to harden the melted candy.
Bag them up and tie them with ribbon.
