Nutter Butter Acorns

"Found this idea on the food blog Sweet Simple Stuff. http://sweetsimplestuff.com/2011/10/10/sweet-acorns-and-a-giveaway/"

 

• Ready In: 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Yields: 48 acorns
• Serves: 48

ingredients

• 24 dark chocolate kisses
• 24 Hershey chocolate kisses (milk chocolate)
• 1⁄2 cup peanut butter chips
• 24 semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 24 peanut butter chips
• 48 Nuttter Butter Bites

directions

1. Unwrap the Kisses and set aside. Arrange all the ingredients on a piece of parchment paper or directly on the counter top.
2. Melt 1/4 cup peanut butter chips in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds. Stir the chips and microwave for 10-30 more seconds -- don't over cook. When assembling the acorns, I set the bowl of melted peanut butter chips in a larger bowl of very hot/boiling water so the chips stay melted.
3. Assemble the acorns: Put a small dab of melted peanut butter on one side of a Nutter Butter Bite. Immediately "glue" a Kiss to the Nutter Butter Bite. Set aside, and continue gluing the rest of the Kisses. After a minute or two they will harden enough to add the acorn tops.
4. Add the acorn tops: Put a tiny dab of melted peanut butter on the top of the acorn and top with a chocolate or peanut butter chip. Set aside to harden.
