A fun, Fall themed treat that is easy to make with caramel centered Kisses for a creamy, delicious surprise!

Chocolate Acorns

If I baked every day, all day and through the night for the rest of my life I wouldn’t even make a dent in all of the recipes I want to share with you! If my social media feed wasn’t constantly filled with recipes that distract and inspire me, I would stop getting interrupted!

So, my goal is to focus on sharing some more of my all-time favorite recipes with you. These Acorn Kisses Treats are one of them!

If that sounds tempting to you, then you won’t be able to resist these Rolo Pretzel Turtles , Candied Pecans , or these Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bites , either!

What You’ll Need

Nutter Butter Cookie Bites

Mini Chocolate Chips

How to Make Acorn Kisses Treats

Unwrap a bag of Hersey’s Caramel Kisses and set aside. You should have about 60.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out 60 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 unwrapped 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. 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.

Nutter Butter Cookie Bites – I recommend buying 2-3 containers, which will give you more than you need. Some of the factory made sandwiches are quite a bit off centered. Acorns aren’t perfect, but the cookie bites look more like an acorn top when they are somewhat centered. So I usually buy extra, just in case.

Where to Find the Cookies – You can’t find the Nutter Butter Cookie Bites on the shelf at the store. They come in a small, personal size cup with a lid and are usually on end caps, by the check out, or in the big round wire bins in the center of the main aisles.

Prep Work – I like to lay out the cookie bites first. That way they are ready when the Kisses are!

Heating the Plate – Do not use a paper plate for the heating trick. You must use ceramic or glass. You need the plate warm, not really hot. It should be safe to the touch of your hand. If the plate is too hot, it will melt the Kisses too fast on the bottoms and you’ll have a mess.

Alternative Methods – You can also break the cookie bites in half, using only half of the cookie for the top of the acorn. There is an alternative to the plate method. Melt chocolate and dunk Kisses into the melted chocolate and ‘glue’ to the cookies. This way sounds easier, but the plate method give the acorns a cleaner look and after you master doing it that way, it goes fast!

Alternative Kisses – You can use any Kiss you’d like for this recipe. Such as: Solid milk chocolate With Almonds Hot Cocoa
