Ingredients
Scale
Acorns
- 1 package Nutter Butter Bites (approximately 9 oz)
- 1 package Hershey’s Kisses (about 12 pieces)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the base: Lay out the Nutter Butter Bites on a clean work surface to form the base of your acorns. These cookies resemble the nut portion of the acorn.
- Add the cap: Unwrap Hershey’s Kisses and place one unwrapped Kiss on top of each Nutter Butter Bite, pressing slightly so they stick together. The Kiss represents the cap of the acorn.
- Attach mini chocolate chips: Using a small dab of softened chocolate from the Kiss or a tiny amount of frosting, press mini chocolate chips around the base of the Kiss to mimic the texture of an acorn cap. Arrange them closely for a realistic effect.
- Chill (optional): Place the assembled acorns in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to set the chocolate and help them hold together better before serving.
Notes
- You can substitute Hershey’s Kisses with any small chocolates of similar shape if desired.
- For easier assembly, slightly warm the Hershey’s Kisses to soften the base for better sticking.
- Store the finished acorns in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This is a no-bake recipe, making it quick and simple for all ages.
