Acorn Kisses Treats Recipes

ACORN KISSES TREATS

Steps:

• Unwrap kisses and set aside.
• Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out Nutter Butter Bites.
• Put a plate in the microwave for 20-30 seconds. Remove the plate and when the plate is warm, not really hot, place 10 Kisses on the plate. Let them sit for a few seconds. Test them by lifting and checking the bottom of the first one you put on the plate. If it's starting to melt then start placing on the Nutter Butter Bites in the same order you put them on the plate. This will make sure the Kisses are evenly melted and ready to 'glue' onto the cookie. Let harden.
• When ready, melt a small amount of chocolate. (You can just melt a handful of mini-chocolate chips.) Place a toothpick in the melted chocolate and put a dab of melted chocolate in the center of the top of the acorn. Then put a mini-chocolate chip on top of the melted chocolate.
• Repeat until you have the desired number of acorns. Let sit until firm.
