Acorn Treats: Food Craft for Kids


Every year we make some sort of acorn treat this time of year. Mostly we've made these:


You take a donut hole, frost the top third, roll it in toffee bits and then stick a piece of pretzel in the top. They're delicious.

But I was a little tired of them and thought we'd make something different this year. I saw Hershey's Kiss acorns floating around the internet and we gave them a try.

You need melted chocolate chips, Nutter Butter  Bites, Hershey's kisses, butterscotch chips ( or PB chips) and a couple of toothpicks.




Pick up some chocolate with the wide end of a toothpick and glue together like this:




If you find the cookie is moving around too much let them sit a minute, cookie side down, before 'gluing' on the butterscotch chip. They set up really fast.


My kids loved making these and my husband LOVED eating them.


Happy Thanksgiving to those who are celebrating tomorrow :-)
