I had to make a batch of some kind of dessert for the bake sale at the Elementary Schools Fall Festival and was planning on making an elaborate brownie/blondie bar.... then I saw this recipe!!! I could not find the plain doughnut holes so I had to use glazed ones, but they were so cute!!! Everyone loved them and asked me where on earth I came up with such a brilliant idea!! Thanks Pamela for helping make me look good :) I will be making these next year as well!

I am an elementary school teacher and my class loves to make their own snacks. We will be trying these acorns this fall! Too cute! Thanks for the great idea!

My kids and I made these for one of my work carry-ins. I got a lot of comments on how cute they were. My 8-year-old was quick to say "FIVE" after having one bite. (He loves rating Zaar recipes.) This is a great recipe for even the smallest child to help with.
