Fall is my favorite time of year. I enjoy cooler weather and the leaves changing color. Today should be a lovely 88° and Thursday is expected to reach 100°! This is October … isn’t it? I am going to ignore the weather and pretend it’s cool. I am in fall mode and the temperature is not going to spoil it!
Today I made acorns since I don’t have an oak tree. These are sweet little acorns … not the kind that fall off trees. But I suppose that’s obvious.
This is what you will need …
- Nutter Butter Bites
- Hershey Kisses (I used dark because I had leftovers from the witch hats)
- Peanut butter chips (some melted, some not)
Set up an assembly line … unwrap the Kisses. Melt about 1/4 cup of the peanut butter chips in the microwave (20 seconds, stir, 20 seconds, stir). This will be your “glue”. Put a little “glue” on the cookies and place the Kisses on the cookie …
After the “glue”has hardened … “glue” the remaining peanut butter chips on top of the cookies …
Congratulations … you just “grew” acorns!

I stocked up back in July and am very happy that I did. I was at the same store two weeks ago and not a package was left. I want to share some with one lucky winner. Wouldn’t they be cute with a cupcake or muffin on top … or maybe used in a craft or scrapbook project? The winner will receive 4 packs of doilies, like the ones below …
