HAPPY THANKSGIVING


If you're looking for something easy to make for Thanksgiving, 
these tasty acorns are made with three simple ingredients.



  • A bag of Hershey Kisses (I used milk chocolate)
  • Nutter Butter Bites (I took them apart but you can use the whole cookie)
  • Pretzel sticks (break into pieces for the stems)




    • I set up an assembly line on my counter that consisted of the following:

    1)  Unwrapped chocolate kisses
    2)  Nutter Butter bites
    3)  A small bowl of melted chocolate (I melted 3 kisses)
    4)  A small bowl of pretzel pieces

    Instructions:

    Melt a few of the chocolate Kisses in a small bowl in the microwave (about one minute). That's your glue. Dip the flat side of the kiss into the melted chocolate (sparingly) and attach it to the Nutter Butter cookie. Once you have completed all of them, it is time to attach the stem. Dip your pretzel piece into the chocolate (glue), and place the pretzel piece on the top center of the Nutter Butter.  Let them sit on the counter while the chocolate hardens.  

    That's it! Enjoy.



    Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours.  I'm joining The Tablescaper for Seasonal Sundays.

      I love your awesome ideas. These are the cutest . . . I'm still saying that about your Santa Brownie Bite, too. I showed them to my husband and he is excited about serving them at our family Christmas party.

      Thanks for sharing your amazing talent.
      Your blogging sister, Connie :)

      What a brilliant idea Debbie...so cute and affective for the season. ;D
      I'll have to store this idea away until next fall as we're just heading into summer here in the land of Oz.
      Thanks for sharing :D

      Enjoy your Sunday!
