Dinosaur Claws

Yowza, have we been busy! I have lots of things to post, I'll try to put them up in-between packing. We'll be at Grandma's house for a couple weeks and oh, boy will we have some fun things to post from there!!
Big C is having a birthday and is all about Dinosaurs right now! So, I made up these easy treats for her party. They'd be a great "D" snack, too!

Dinosaur (or Dragon) Claws
Ingredients:
Nutter Butter Cookies
Green Candy Melts (get them at Wal-Mart in the craft section or here)
Cashew halves
Wax Paper

Directions:
Put candy melts in a glass bowl and microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring after every 30 seconds until melted.
Dip Nutter Butter cookies in candy melts and place on wax paper. (I held onto the sides where the cookie gets narrow, dipped it, shook off the excess, wiped the bottom of the cookie on the side of the bowl, set it on the wax paper, then gently smoothed over where my fingers were holding the cookie). Take three cashew halves (or 3 small cashews) and place on dipped cookie for "claws". Let set completely and serve! You can store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks
