Do you believe that old saying, “you are what you eat”?

It must be true … here is a little peek at my family …

My hubby ate so many Nutter Butter Cookies … he turned into one … hahaha!

I was actually very kind in the making of this Nutter Butter Man … I didn’t include the white hair that is growing in his goatee … he’s got a little Colonel Sanders thing going on.  Please don’t tell him that I shared that little bit of info 😉

The Nutter Butter thing runs in the family …

I have three sons … Son #1 has light brown hair and usually a full beard … Son #2 has red hair and is clean-shaven … Son #3 would have blonde hair if he let it grow and has a goatee.

These Nutter Butter people have been in my mind for some time.  Sunday is Father’s Day and it’s baseball season … perfect timing!

Please forgive me … I didn’t even think about making girls until I was typing this post.  I have a tendency to think in boy terms, but  I’m sure that it would very simple to adapt.

Once again this is a super simple project and here is what you will need …

• Nutter Butter Cookies
• Mini Nilla Wafers
• Candy Eyes
• Candy Melts or Candy Coating in your choice of colors (melted)
• A serrated knife
• A wax paper or parchment lined tray

1. Cut Mini Nilla Wafers in half to create a baseball hat bill.  Use a toothpick (or whatever works for you) and melted candy to create hair on a Nutter Butter.
2. Place “hat bill” on hair and let dry.
3. Dip the top of the Nutter Butter and top of the mini Nilla Wafer to create a baseball hat.  Let dry or chill for a few minutes
4. Use a toothpick and melted candy to attach candy eyes and make a smile.
5. Add a little facial hair and you are done!

Maybe the Nutter Butter baseball players could use these bats and balls …
