Adorable Acorn Kisses Recipe

Cookie Treats Made with Hershey Kisses

These adorable acorn kisses are cute and delicious, so they are fun to make and fun to eat.

A Hershey’s Kiss is good as is, but is even better with a little homemade cookie on top. 

The tiny peanut butter cookies are a nice crunchy contrast to the smooth chocolate acorn. 

Of course, chocolate and peanut butter are always a good flavor combination. 

This is a perfect treat to serve at Fall gatherings.

They are always popular, when sold at a bake sale or given as a gift. 

If you are planning a woodland themed baby shower or birthday party, these are lovely to set out on the dessert table. 

We all know that from little acorns mighty oaks grow, so the cookies are a cute way to tie that into a celebration for a baby on the way or a small child.

If you have kids who like to help in the kitchen, this recipe is a great choice. 

The acorn kisses are cute, of course. 

They are also easy to make. 

Kids can help mix up the cookie dough and they can help assemble the acorns.

Even little ones will have fun putting the acorns together.

Enjoy!
