Ingredients Needed for Mummy Nutter Butters
To make our delicious mummy cookies, you will need a few key ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:
- 1 package of Nutter Butters
- White melting chocolate or candy coating
- Mini chocolate chips
Tips for Making Mummy Nutter Butters
- Tools needed for this recipe are a zip-top plastic bag and scissors (or a piping bag, but that will leave you cleaning up more tools). A wire cooling rack is not essential, but makes it easier to avoid pools of the chocolate forming around the edges of the cookies.
- The only white chocolate that will work for this recipe is the kind meant to be melted. White chocolate bars and chips do not melt smoothly. We like the vanilla candy coating that comes in its own microwave safe tray (found at Kroger or Walmart). Some people also call this almond bark.
- Because the candy coating sets fairly quickly, we suggest making the cookies in small batches of six cookies at a time. Make six mummies (without the piping on the mummy wrappings), then six more mummies, and keep repeating this process until all the cookies are made. Finally, pipe on the “mummy wrappings” very last and let all the cookies set until the candy is firm. We wait 10-15 minutes.
- As we just mentioned, It’s best to wait until the candy coating on the cookies has fully set before adding the “mummy wrappings.” Otherwise, the stripes for the “wrappings” just melt into the dipped layer and you won’t get the cool 3D effect.
- Candy eyes can be used instead of chocolate chips.

Nutter Butter Mummies Cookies
Ingredients
- 16 oz Nutter Butter cookies family-size package
- 16 oz Vanilla candy coating or other melting white chocolate
- ¼ cup Mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Melt the white chocolate candy coating according to the package directions. Scoop about 1/3 cup of the melted candy coating into a small zip-top bag and set aside (you may want to place the bag in warm water to keep the candy from setting up).
- Dip one side of each Nutter Butter cookie in the melted white candy coating. Make sure the whole side is coated. Place the dipped cookies on a wire rack to allow any excess candy to drip away.
- Before the coating hardens, add mini chocolate chips to create eyes on each mummy cookie. Let cookies set for 10 minutes.
- Use scissors to trim a very tiny bit from one corner of the plastic bag that contains the melted candy coating. This will make a simple piping bag.
- Once the candy coating on the cookies has fully set (meaning, it is firm to the touch and no longer melted), use the piping bag of melted candy coating to pipe lines across the mummy cookies in different directions to resemble mummy wrappings/bandages.
- Allow cookies to set 15 minutes longer without being disturbed before serving or moving.
Notes
- Because the candy coating sets fairly quickly, we suggest making the cookies in small batches. We dip 6 mummies (without the piping on the mummy wrappings), then 6 more – until all the cookies are coated. Finally, we pipe on the “mummy wrappings” very last and let all the cookies set until the cookies are firm.
- It’s best to wait until the candy coating on the cookies has fully set before adding the “mummy wrappings.” Otherwise, the stripes for the “wrappings” just melt into the dipped layer and you won’t get the cool 3D effect.
