Make Festive Candy Acorns for Any Occasion (Print version)
Adorable no-bake candy acorns made with chocolate kisses, mini wafers, and a mini chip stem. A quick, kid-friendly treat for any holiday platter.
# Ingredients:
01 -
24 milk chocolate kisses, unwrapped
02 -
24 mini vanilla wafer cookies
03 -
24 mini semi-sweet chocolate chips
04 -
3 tablespoons (45 g) creamy peanut butter, cookie butter, or thick frosting
05 -
2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Lay out the unwrapped kisses, wafers, and chips on a tray lined with parchment. Pour sprinkles into a shallow bowl if using.
02 -
Spread a tiny dab of peanut butter on the flat bottom of a chocolate kiss. Press a mini wafer on top, centered, to form the acorn cap. Repeat with remaining kisses.
03 -
Dab a pinhead of peanut butter on the flat side of a mini chip. Press it into the center of the wafer cap, point side down, so it stands upright like a stem.
04 -
Roll each acorn in sprinkles while the peanut butter is still soft if desired. Let them sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes until the peanut butter firms up and holds everything tight.
