Kentucky Derby parties are so much fun to host – break out your biggest fanciest hat and mint juleps and you’re off to the races!
Having a Kentucky Derby party? Make these cute horse cookies!
Made from Pepperidge Farm Dark Chocolate Milano Melts, Mini Nilla Wafers, licorice ropes, tootsie rolls for ears, and caramel for the mane (cut with a mini daisy cookie cutter).
Attach everything with melted chocolate or melted candy coating.
** The red licorice lace can be hard to attach so using a thin line of red frosting may work better!

Instructions
- Attach the candy eyes to the top part of the cookies as shown with the melted chocolate

- Now pipe a line of red frosting across the middle of the cookie.
- Soften the tootsie rolls and the caramel in the microwave for just a second or two. Shape the tootsie rolls into ear shapes.
