How to make 3-ingredient candy acorns for Fall
Ingredients
- 50 Mini Nilla wafers
- 50 Hershey Kisses candies
- 50 Butterscotch chips about 1/2 cup
- Store bought chocolate frosting
Instructions
- Place your mini Nilla wafers upside down on a baking sheet or cutting board.
- Microwave the frosting, in a microwave safe container, on 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.
- Allow the frosting to cool slightly, and add to a piping bag with just the very tip of the bag cut off.
- Pipe a bit of the chocolate onto the upside down Nilla wafers, and attach a Hershey’s kiss candy to each one.
- Once all of the cookies have a candy added, move them to the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
- For the butterscotch chips on top, pipe a bit of the melted frosting onto a saucer or something similar.
- Take a toothpick and dip the tip of the tooth pick into the frosting, and place the tiniest bit onto the underside of a butterscotch chip.
- Attach the butterscotch chip to the top of the Nilla wafer cookie.
- Repeat this for all of the candies, and then chill for 15 minutes more.
- Enjoy!
