Nutter Butter Groundhogs in Chocolate Doughnut Holes

Happy Groundhog Day!  I guess Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow so welcome to six more weeks of winter.  But these guys made you smile, didn’t they?  Who wouldn’t love a Nutter Butter Groundhog coming out of a chocolate doughnut hole?

chocolate doughnuts

Nutter Butter cookies

brown M&Ms

white Tic Tacs

candy eyes

some sort of edible “glue”, I used melted white chocolate, other options include frosting, peanut butter, Nutella

Carefully cut brown M&Ms in half to  make ears.  Using your edible glue choice, glue 1 brown M&M onto cookie for nose, glue 2 Tic Tacs right under the nose for the teeth, 2 candy eyes above the nose then each half of an M&M to the sides for ears.  Allow to set before sticking each cookie into the hole in a chocolate doughnut.  And done!
