I have always been fond of acorns.
My family has always been fond of peanut butter and chocolate.
Therefore …
The new and improved Nutter Butter Acorns were born
I still love last years Sweet Acorns … these are just a little different and easy to make … as usual!
Here are the few things you will need … Nutter Butter cookies, melted chocolate (or candy melts), chocolate sprinkles (jimmies), broken pretzel sticks, a serrated knife and wax paper …
- Cut a Nutter Butter cookie in half – I used a serrated steak knife in a back and forth sawing motion
- Dip the cut end of the cookie in melted chocolate (about 1/4 of the cookie)
- Dip the melted chocolate portion of the cookie into the chocolate sprinkles and lay on wax paper
- Dip the tip of broken pretzel in melted chocolate and attach to top of cookie, as a stem
Easy peasy







Does sound easy and yummy. Great idea.
Thank you, they sure were easy
These look cute and delicious
Thank you
Adorable.
I still enjoy making the other acorns the best tho. Will be making them again this year. Was unable to find the little mini nutter butter cookies so in place I used the peanut butter Ritz Bits.
Thanks for yet another fun and easy recipe

Mini Ritz … great idea! Thank you for sharing
Very creative and easy. The 2 prime attributes I look for when making a recipe. Now if I could only find nutter butters in China…
What could you substitute? I went for shape, peanut butter was a bonus
Such a fantastic idea! Would love for you to share these on our Kitchen Fun and Crafty link party and we will feature them!:) http://kitchenfunwithmy3sons.blogspot.com/2012/11/kitchen-fun-and-crafty-friday-link.html

I am a huge fan of Nutter Butters and your acorns are a perfect use of the cookies.
We do think alike
Numnumnum!

Hoping to try these at Thanksgiving to get some new traditions going and add more fun than just eating and visiting, which adults love, but is a lost art on kids! lol
I hope the kids like them … they could even help make them, too
