Acorn Kisses

Summer is over!  Yes Labor Day has come and gone.  Summer is officially over.  I personally am ready for it to be over.  I adore Fall and all of the changes it brings.  Cooler weather, the colors of the leaves changing, and the decorating for a new season.  I have been ready for it since the kids went back to school.  
We had a race this past Labor Day weekend, but it was completely rained out and we did nothing but sit at the track and watch it rain.  Thank you Hurricane Isaac!  It is now postponed till next weekend.  However we still baked, cooked and got everything ready for the Nationals (the race), and I had decided to "fall it up " a bit.  I made these adorable Acorn Kisses as a special treat.

They are so simple and so cute.  All you will need is;

Acorn Kisses

Hershey Kisses (any flavor will do as long as they are the Chocolate color)

Mini Nutter Butter Cookies

Mini Semi Sweet Chocolate Chips

Thats it!

First melt about 1/4 cup of the mini chocolate chips in the microwave and stir till smooth.  Nuke them 30 seconds, stir and repeat till it is smooth.  This is going to be your "glue" that holds everything together.

Put a SMALL amount of the melted chocolate on one side of the cookie

Next put the Kiss onto of the chocolate and hold it there a few seconds

Then do the same thing with a mini chip.  Use a toothpick to put a very small amount of chocolate onto of the other side of the cookie and place a mini chip on top to create the "stem" of the acorn.

There you have it...Acorn Kisses.  I tried separating the cookies and using them whole and I liked the whole ones better.  They looked more "real"

 This was just one item I made for this weekend among many other goodies for the weekend, including cookies, brownies, bars, and a very special Turbo cookie.

These were so cute!!  I loved them.
