'Acorn' Treats!

The finished 'acorns'..with a few peanut butter smears!
Fall is so full of fun & interesting crafting ideas for children... it's hard to decide which to do!      (Pinterest)  We opted for a quick, easy, edible idea that was also educational! (We went outdoors & rummaged around for different leaves, trying to choose a variety of shapes & colors....and of course, we found oak! Ps..these leaves were saved for yet another fall project!)

So we tied in the oak with the acorn, and had lots of fun producing our own little 'acorns'! The only problem we encountered was that I had to ask my grandsons to stop eating them so I could have more than one finished 'acorn' in the bowl at a time! (Pictures!!) 

What you'll need:

Nutter-Butter Peanut Butter Cookies, round - 1 pkg

Hershey Kisses, Milk or Dark Chocolate - 1 bag

Chocolate Chips - Appx. 20 - 30



STEP 1: Grammy shows them what to do: Twist the cookie as you pull apart, ending up with two pieces.
 




'Peanut butter & chocolate' is an irresistible combination!
 

 

STEP 2: Using the cream filling as glue, just squish on a Hershey Kiss.
  

STEP 3: Using a tiny bit of the cream filling, add a chocolate chip to the top.


That's it! We're done!    Yum!!



Looks pretty in the bowl...




Don't mind if I do!...
