Hershey’s Kisses Acorns

make as many as you like

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped (milk or dark chocolate suggested)

• Nutter Butter Bites or other small, round sandwich cookies (see notes below)

• mini chocolate chips

Directions

1. Melt some chocolate and place in a piping bag (or zip-top bag), cut corner.

2. Pipe a small dollop of melted chocolate onto one nutter butter bite cookie and top with one Hershey’s kiss; allow chocolate to set.

3. Place a small dot of melted chocolate on the other side of the nutter butter bite to hold a mini chocolate chip in place; cool completely before serving.

Notes

• You’ll need one mini chocolate chip for each “acorn”, plus more for melting.

• You can see in the photo above, I used white chocolate to glue the mini chocolate chips in place - don’t do that. Melt some of your mini chocolate chips to use as the glue - it will blend in much better (see photo below).

• Be sure to get Nutter Butter Bites — they are small, round cookies (about 1-inch in diameter), not peanut shaped. They can often be found sold in lunchbox snack packs. I have also been able to find small round vanilla cream sandwich cookies that were the same size at a local grocery store (again, sold in small lunchbox snack size packages).

Cheese and Cracker “Pie” Slices

make as many as you like

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• yellow cheddar cheese block, cut into small triangles as shown

• whipped cream cheese (or cheese spread), any flavor, but it should be creamy

• Triscuit Thin Crisps Crackers, original flavor

• Chicken in a Biskit crackers

Directions

1. Cut cheddar cheese into 1/8-inch thick planks, then into triangles that are a little smaller than the Triscuit Thin Crisps crackers.

2. Place whipped cream cheese into a piping bag (or freezer zip-top bag) and cut a small hole in the tip.

3. Squeeze a small amount of whipped cream cheese onto Triscuit cracker and place the prepared cheese triangle on top.

4. Pipe a little more whipped cream cheese along the long side of a Chicken in a Biskit cracker and press it in the place of the “pie crust" edge. I like to cut these cracker “crusts” down a bit with a small serrated knife, so they aren’t too tall.

5. Pipe a small dollop of whipped cream cheese on top to mimic real whipped cream. For best flavor, serve at room temperature.

Note

• When choosing a cheddar cheese, pick one that is young, not aged. The more aged (aka sharp), the more crumbly and difficult it will be to cut into neat slices.
