Description

Chocolate Kiss Acorns are charming, bite-sized treats perfect for parties or seasonal snacking. Made with mini Nilla wafers, Hershey’s milk chocolate kisses, and semisweet chocolate chips, these acorns come together quickly with no baking required. They’re a fun and festive way to enjoy chocolate in the fall or any time of year.

Ingredients

Chocolate Kiss Acorns

  • ¾ cup mini semisweet chocolate chips, divided
  • 40 mini Nilla wafer cookies
  • 40 milk chocolate Hershey’s kisses, unwrapped

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Tray: Line a baking tray with parchment paper and set it aside to prevent melted chocolate from sticking during assembly.
  2. Melt Chocolate: Set aside ¼ cup of the mini semisweet chocolate chips for the stems. Melt the remaining ½ cup in a microwave-safe bowl by heating in 30-second increments, stirring between each until fully smooth and melted.
  3. Assemble Acorn Bases: Place the mini Nilla wafers upside down on the prepared tray. Dab a small amount of melted chocolate onto the flat side of each wafer, then press a Hershey’s milk chocolate kiss onto the dab to form the acorn’s base. Repeat until all wafers have kisses attached.
  4. Chill to Set Base: Refrigerate the tray for about 10 minutes to let the chocolate firm up, securing the Hershey’s kisses to the wafers.
  5. Add Acorn Stems: If needed, reheat the reserved chocolate chips until melted. Using a skewer, apply a small dab of melted chocolate to the top center of each Nilla wafer. Press the flat side of a reserved mini chocolate chip onto the dab to create the stem on each acorn.
  6. Final Chill: Return the tray to the refrigerator for another 5 minutes to let the stems harden and stay securely attached.
  7. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate is fully hardened, your Chocolate Kiss Acorns are ready to serve as a festive snack or party treat.
