I confess … I’m a dork. I know that I’m dorky because my sons have told me so … more than once! Son #2 recently confirmed this fact … after I told him about this idea …
I thought that I was being cute and clever … it was just my dorkiness showing, once again … so I’ve been told.
Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for dorky little sayings … isn’t it? I can’t be the only person that believes this … just read some Valentine’s Day cards!
This is what you will need …
- Nutter Butter cookies
- Green M&M’s
- Jumbo Heart Sprinkles
- Edible black marker
- White candy melts
- Green candy melts
I wanted a lighter color of green candy, so I started with white and added green until I got the color I wanted. Ratio – 2 parts white candy to 1 part green candy …
Note – 1 pound of candy will cover about 15 cookies.
Start by working on parchment paper or waxed paper …
- Dip the Nutter Butter Cookie in melted green candy, tapping off all excess candy. Lay on parchment.
- Add M&M’s and heart. Chill for a few minutes.
- Use melted green candy (in squeeze bottle or pastry bag) to create “pea pod” opening … let candy harden up.
- Use edible marker to draw eyes and mouth on “peas”.
- Draw “pea” vines (green candy) on plate if desired
The good news … Son#2 is trying to come up with some different ideas using Nutter Butter cookies. I think he is trying to save me from my own dorkiness
I ♥ your comments!
P.S. Regarding my previous project “Valentine Pretzels/Heartzels” … I found an alternative for the Heartzels and posted the info on the Heartzels page.
These are just as cute as can be! Sorta like a light-choc-peanut-butter-crunchy-cup….. so LONG LIVE DORKINESS! lol Blessings, Donna B.
Thank you
Oh how I love Nutter Butter edible crafts and your pea pods are absolutely adorable. I just pinned.
Nutter Butters are the best
I AM A DORK TOO! LOVE YOUR IDEA!
I am so happy that I am not alone! Thanks
If you are a dork, I think dorks are awesome!!! These are just too cute for words. And would work beautifully for a baby shower as well!!! Keep up the dorkiness!!!!!
You are so smart about the baby shower idea
My dorkiness will live forever!
I think that was a very cute idea and I don’t think it was dorky at all
I feel better now
Thanks for mentioning how many cookies you can cover with 1 lb. chocolate. Takes the guessing out of it for us.
Dinaz mentioned using the pea pods for a Baby shower….you could sit the Nutter Butters in a vertical position and decorate them (using the technique you did to make it look like an open pod to now look like a blanket) Whala……a new baby wrapped in a blanket.
Valentines – decorate the Nutter Butters to look like a giant set of lips.
We shall await your photos (of these ideas – should you accept the challenge
as you’re Her Majesty of the Nutter Butters.
You are so full of ideas
Come on, Brenda, we’re parents. We’re gonna be dorky, no matter what. The question is, did the boy eat them?
He’s a boy … it’s a cookie … not a crumb was left
I tell him that I’m not a dork … he laughs … that’s our relationship in a nutshell!
oh my – I really did squeal out loud! SO CUTE! I wish I had more time these days to create – I would be making these for sure – really really cute.
Thank you so very much … you are too cute
Okay, so you’re a dork…if dork means GENIUS! Seriously, these are just about the cutest things ever! I’m pinning and sharing on my Facebook page. So, so smitten!

You are too kind
thank you for the update on the alternative for the Heartzels.
I also am somewhat dorky as well, cause I think these are cute and very clever. Guess we are all in good company anyway. :}
Many ways in using nutter butter cookies: Dip and decorate into snowmen, penquins, reindeer,make into cute little puppies, cookie balls, etc.

If all of dorks unite … we could create anything
I am dying over how cute and adorable these are!!!! Totally not dorky at all!
Thank you so much
I’m going let my son know that my cookies are not dorky!
Brenda this one is so adorable, I posted it on pininterest and facebook.
Thank you for passing it along
That is the cutest idea I have ever seen! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks
I love dorky, but I’m also old. lol It gets better. When your a grandma and greatgrandma, they love you for your dorkiness and say, your so cute. I love the two peas in the pod. They looklike you spent hours on them, but are quite simple, my kind of craft. Thanks. Trish Butler (Motheroverkill)
I have something to look forward to … I can be an older cute dork
Believe me no hours were spent making these … just minutes!
They really are the cutest!
