Ingredients
- 12 mini Nutter Butters or mini Nilla Wafers
- 24 Hershey's Kisses any flavor you like
- ⅔ cup peanut butter chips divided (other chip flavors can be used)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet or flat surface with parchment paper.
- Separate the Nutter Butters and use a knife to carefully scrape off the peanut butter filling so that both halves of the cookies are clean. (The filling won't be used in the recipe.) Place on the parchment paper.
- Place an unwrapped Hershey's Kiss and peanut butter chip next to each cookie. You will need 24 kisses and peanut butter chips (stems), one for each half of a cookie.
- Transfer the remaining peanut butter chips to a microwave safe bowl and heat at 50% power for 30 second increments, repeat. If needed, heat in 10 second increments until fully melted making sure to stir in between. If the chips seize up, you will need to start over so be carefully not to over cook.
- Dip the flat side of each kiss in the melted peanut butter chips mixture and then quickly press onto the flat, smooth side of one of the cookies. Repeat with remaining kisses. Let sit for 5 minutes.
- Dip each peanut butter chip into the melted peanut butter chips mixture (may need to reheat) and press onto the top of the cookies/acorn to create the stem.
- Place acorns in the refrigerator for at least 10 minutes to set up completely. Serve and enjoy!
