Chocolate Acorns 

Chocolate Acorns are delightful, no bake treats that capture the essence of fall and Thanksgiving. These bite sized confections are as fun to make as they are to eat, combining the sweetness of chocolate with the crunch of mini Nilla wafers. Perfect for gatherings, potlucks, or as a festive snack, they add a whimsical touch to any occasion.

Full Recipe:

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips

• 50 mini Nilla wafer cookies

• 50 milk chocolate Hershey's Kisses, unwrapped

• 50 mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.

2. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave for about 45 seconds; stir until smooth. Continue microwaving in 15-second intervals, if necessary.

3. Using a spatula, transfer the melted chocolate to a small Ziploc bag and snip off a tiny corner.

4. Pipe a small amount of melted chocolate onto the flat side of each mini Nilla wafer cookie and immediately press a Hershey's Kiss on top to attach it. Place on the prepared baking sheet, cookie side down. Repeat with the remaining cookies and kisses.

5. Place the baking sheet in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.

6. After the initial set, pipe a small amount of melted chocolate onto each mini chocolate chip and attach it to the top center of each wafer to create the acorn's stem.

7. Return the acorns to the baking sheet and freeze for another 5 minutes to set completely.
