Acorn Candy Kisses


These are pure fun! And a good project for the kiddos ~
you can "glue" the pieces together with thick Royal Icing,
a little melted chocolate or peanut butter.

If you can find the "Pumpkin Spice" Hershey's Kisses
they make the acorns a bit more realistic as they
are a light caramel color.  I couldn't find them in my area
this year so I used a mix of plain milk chocolate kisses
along with some of the caramel filled type (really good, but
sweet ~ I like them because the caramel filling is liquid,
not chewy.)


I am really happy you stopped by and
thank you for any comments you would like
to leave. I appreciate each one and I would love
to come visit your spot on the internet.


Happy Autumn!

    So cute! And if you use Nutter Butter Bites, you'll get that criss cross pattern on the top. I have these on my list to make...just adorable!

    Hi Betsy, I think the Nutter Butter Bites for the acorn cap are as cute as can be!

    Just as with the special Kisses I couldn't find them anywhere around here either. :( A little disadvantage of being away from a large city.

    Thank you for stopping and leaving a comment!

    Hello Madonna and Linda~

    I wonder who comes up with these creative ideas... not ME, I just copy them and share here.

    Linda, me too ~ keep me away from those Caramel Kisses. :)
