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).

DIY Magic Shell

Ice cream is a fun treat anytime of year, but it’s particularly enjoyable on a hot summer’s day. Add a crisp, chocolatey shell and prepare to enjoy a party in your mouth!

DIY Magic Shell

makes about 1/2 cup

Printable Recipe

Ingredients

• 6 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate (use the good stuff)

• 4 tablespoons coconut oil (see notes below)

• pinch of table salt

Directions

1. Place all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 second intervals, stirring after each, until completely melted.

2. Allow mixture to cool to room temperature before using.

3. Coat ice cream with magic shell by dipping into or drizzling over. If you want to add sprinkles or a cherry on top, add immediately before magic shell hardens.

4. Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month or freeze for long-term storage (reheat and allow to cool to room temp again before using).

Notes

1. I like chocolate that has a cocoa percentage in the 60s or 70s. Use whatever percentage you like best, just be sure it’s high quality. The lower the cocoa percentage, the sweeter the chocolate.

2. If you have an aversion to the flavor of coconut, use refined coconut oil. If you don’t mind the flavor of coconut, feel free to use unrefined coconut oil.
