Acorn Kiss Treats

With Autumn right here for us, many of you are thinking about the decorating you will be doing. How about those snack plates? Have you found the perfect treat to put on them?

I have and I want you to feel free to try these out. You kids are going to love them. The office is going to love them. They are adorable, tasty and a perfect bite sized treat for everyone.

With just a few ingredients and a minimal amount of time, you can have these treats ready for after school, even if you forget to make them until the bus drops the kids off.

For those of us that have kids that love to be involved, this is the one to have them right there and helping you. Could there be any type of cookie or treat any simpler than this one? I highly doubt it.

Frequently Asked Questions:

            Is there a certain type of Hershey Kiss that I should use?

Absolutely not! I generally use the ones with Almonds in the center, but plain, caramel filled or even the white chocolate would be ideal for these treats.

            How do I store these little treats?

They can sit on the counter in an airtight container or placed into ziploc baggies. They are really good chilled, but it is not necessary.

            Do I have to bake these treats?

No heating of the oven is needed. The most you will have to do is melt the peanut butter chips which can be done in the microwave.

            Can I use peanut butter instead of melting peanut butter chips?

I have personally not tried this, but I do not see why this would not work also.
