Hey! I'm Taryn. Welcome to our blog. I cant wait to sprinkle a little fun into your kitchen with you!
These Bees & Bugs Chocolate Covered Cookies are cute, fun, and super easy to make. They’ve got a crunchy Nutter Butter center, a blue white chocolate shell, and the sweetest little bees and ladybugs on top. Perfect for spring, parties, or just because—you really can’t go wrong with these.
Do I need to use candy coloring or can I use regular food coloring?
Stick with oil-based candy coloring like Chefmaster. Regular food coloring can make the melted chocolate seize and turn grainy.
Can I use a different cookie besides Nutter Butters?
Yes—Vienna Fingers work well since they’re the right shape for the rectangle mold.
How do I keep the chocolate from bubbling or cracking?
Gently tap the mold after filling to release any air bubbles and make sure the chocolate is fully set before removing

Can I make Bees & Bugs Chocolate Covered Cookies ahead of time?
Yes! They stay fresh for up to 5 days at room temperature in an airtight container.
Do I have to use a mold?
The mold helps give a clean, professional look. Without it, the chocolate coating won’t hold the same shape.
Can I use chocolate chips instead of melting wafers?
You can, but chocolate chips don’t melt as smoothly or set as firmly. Ghirardelli melting wafers are a better option for coating.
How do I attach the icing bees and ladybugs?
Melt a small amount of white chocolate and use it as glue. Let them set completely before moving or serving.
Can these be made nut-free?
Yes—just use a nut-free rectangular cookie like Vienna Fingers instead of Nutter Butters.
These make the cutest favors for a mini garden party! Pack each Bees & Bugs Chocolate Covered Cookie in a clear treat bag with a little green paper “grass” and a flower sticker seal. Set them out in a basket or mini planter box so guests can “pick” their cookie from the garden on their way out.
