The Cutest Acorns

We actually spent a weekend at home. Of course we couldn't just sit and do nothing so we crafted away. I found this cute recipe that only involved a microwave, chocolate chips, Hershey's kisses and mini nutter butters. I substituted mini vanilla wafers just to stay away from the peanut allergies. Look how cute they turned out. (And don't forget to look at those cute kids while you are at it.)


Directions:
Unwrap the Hershey Kisses.
Melt half of the chocolate chips in the microwave 15 seconds at a time. Stir in between.
Use a butter knife and spread a small dab of the melted chocolate chips onto the underside of the mini vanilla wafer (or mini nutter butter). This acts as your "glue".
Stick a Hershey's Kiss to the chocolate glue. You have your acorn base.
Set aside and keep gluing.
Next use a small dab of melted chocolate on the top of the mini vanilla wafer to glue a chocolate chip to the top for the acorn stem.
Done! Easy!

How cute are these? I have to admit, the mini nutter butters looked a little cuter, but again, to stay away from peanut allergies, I thought the mini vanilla wafers were a good substitute.

Just because I could not resist, here is a picture of my two cute acorns finding the perfect pumpkins in the patch today after school. It was windy and dusty but we persevered and found the perfect pumpkins for two cute acorns.
