Easy Flip Flop Cookies

Nutter Butter Flip Flops

I’ve been busy making plans for my teenage daughter’s summer birthday party. She wants to keep it pretty simple and invite just a few close friends, but a party’s a party, and I want the girls to have some fun and easy snacks to enjoy.

So, the kids and I made these cute no bake flip flop cookies to serve at the pool party. These sweet treats are so easy to make, and they are the perfect dessert to bring to just about any summer celebration! Summer is all about casual fun, and what’s more casual than wearing flip flops? Actually, I love flip flops, and I wear them practically all year round, except when it’s super cold out. And in the desert, there aren’t that many snow days!

These no bake cookies start out with store bought peanut butter cookies that are dipped in candy coating and embellished with a little more candy. We also use them to make ghosts and reindeer! know that sounds like it may be too sugary, but you get a salty and sweet combination that the kids love. Well, I love them too!

Ingredient Notes

How to Make Nutter Butter Flip Flop Cookies

Basically all you have to do to make flip flop cookies is melt the candy coating, dip the cookies and decorate! We made the flip flop straps from thin strips of Twizzlers candy. Just snip off a short section, and bend it to form the straps. Then, stick it into the coating while it’s still soft. You can use Skittles or any small colorful candies to go on top of the bend in the strap. Use a dab of melted candy coating to attach the candies to the straps.
