Prep time: 10 minutes

Assembly time: 15 minutes

Total time: 25 minutes

Makes 24 acorns

• 24 Nutter Butter Bites (they have to be the Bites because they’re smaller!)
• 24 Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
• 24 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips, to melt

• Unwrap 24 Hershey’s Kisses and set them aside.
• Count out 24 Nutter Butter Bites and set them aside.
• Count out 24 mini chocolate chips and set them aside.
• Melt about 1/4 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips in the microwave. Start with 20 seconds on high, stir, and then continue at 10-20 second increments until your chocolate is melted. This prevents burning (which is a terribly awful smell).
• Dip the large end of a Hershey’s Kiss into the melted chocolate. Press a Nutter Butter Bite onto the melted chocolate to make your acorn.
• Dip a mini chocolate chip into the melted chocolate and add it to the top middle of the Nutter Butter Bite, making the “stem.”
• Set aside to let the melted chocolate set.
• Repeat until all of your acorns are assembled.

• If you’re making these ahead of time, store in an airtight container for up to 7 days.
• Keep your chocolate nice and melted otherwise they start to look a little sloppy and the “pieces” can fall off easier.

The first time I made these was several years ago, when Pinterest was just becoming a thing, and I brought them to my extended family’s Thanksgiving. The ‘ooh’s’ and ‘oh my gosh HOW CUTE’s’ were plentiful. They are a very cute addition to any table and even better that they’re edible.

I’m bringing them again this year as well as giving some out to friends as a little treat (always make sure no one has a peanut allergy!) with a little handwritten note of gratitude for our friendship.

This is also a nice alternative to pie and is actually why I decided to make them in the first place. I am not a huge fan of pie (I know, I know), so this was my after dinner treat instead of having pie.

I also like that these are so little, so one is enough if I’m too full from Thanksgiving dinner or I can have a couple without feeling overly stuffed.

Whether you like pie or not, these are a fun little appetizer or dessert to share this time of year.

Wishing you the happiest Thanksgiving to you and yours!

Until next time,
