FUN fall yummy....great "kid friendly" project.
What you will need:
1/2 cup Chocolate Chips
( I think I used less, but it all depends on how MANY acorns you will make)
1 pkg Kisses Candies
(Any chocolate kind, I used plain milk chocolate)
1 pkg Nutter Butter Bites Cookies
(My store didn't have a box of the cookies, just the travel containers.)
1. I enlisted the help of the kids to make these fun treats. I had one unwrap all the Kisses candies and the other separated the cookies.
2. I melted about 1/2 cups of Chocolate Chips in the microwave. To make things easier and hopefully, less messy, I poured the melted chocolate into a baggie and cut off the tip to help control the flow of chocolate.
3. I dabbed a small amount of melted chocolate chips on the middle side of each cookie. (Middle being, the part that was sandwiched together with peanut butter.)
4. The kids went behind me and placed a Kiss candy on each chocolate dabbed cookie.
5. For added effect, I added a small stem to the other side of the cookie. Again, I just dabbed the melted chocolate in the center....and you're done!
These fall treats have the great combination of chocolate and peanut butter, but it isn't majorly peanut buttery. My husband isn't a fan of peanut butter & chocolate, but he really enjoyed these.
If you have peanut allergies in your household, you could use Nilla Wafer Bites in place of the Nutter Butters. Either way.....it's yummmm!
Happy Fall!!
