The holidays bring out my fun creative side which means let’s make food art. Previously I’ve made food art for Halloween. Christmas, and in the spring, Easter. Today’s treats are great for autumn and Thanksgiving. The treat is easily made with miniature vanilla wafers, Hersey’s Kisses, butterscotch and chocolate chips. You can melt some chocolate chips for the “glue” needed to make acorns or make a simple vanilla icing. They’re also a cute decoration on cupcakes or cakes.

…what a clever idea.
These are so cute and are such a great idea especially for this time of year. x
thanks Kim
I don’t think we get Hershey’s Kisses here (maybe in one of the American sweet shops), but I know my niece and nephew would love these!
Is there a little chocolate treat that is small enough? It doesn’t have to be Hersey’s. How about chocolate chips?
Those are adorable.
I made these with my boys one year when we were homeschooling and they wanted to help make Thanksgiving dessert. It was so fun and so easy to do.
I loved your idea to use butterscotch chips for the stem… making it both cute and delicious!
These candy acorn cookies look great and delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. Have a great week!

This is such a cute idea! I was curious how you made the tops of the acorns! Would have never guessed it was a miniature wafer and light colored chip! Love it!
