Using a double boiler, melt the orange candy melts. Once melting begins, add 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil and stir until smooth.​

Dip one side of each Nutter Butter cookie into the melted orange candy, shaking gently to remove excess. Repeat on the other side, then dip the bottom to create the leprechaun's beard. Place on a cookie sheet to set.​

Once the orange coating hardens, melt the green candy melts, adding 3-4 tablespoons of coconut oil for smoothness. Dip the top of each cookie to form the hat.

Attach edible eyes using a small dab of melted candy as glue.​

Melt black candy melts with 1 tablespoon of coconut oil, stirring until smooth. Transfer to a piping bag.​

Pipe a black line where the green hat meets the cookie to create the hat's brim. Add a shamrock sprinkle to the hat using a dot of melted candy.​

Using the reserved orange candy melts in a piping bag, add swirls to the beard area for texture.​

Allow all decorations to set completely, approximately 30 minutes, before serving.​
