3-Ingredient Chocolate Acorns
There’s something so fun about recipes that are both simple to make and incredibly cute to serve. These 3-Ingredient Chocolate Acorns are the perfect little fall treat that kids and adults will both love. These cookies come together in minutes, but look like you put way more effort into them than you really did.
Ingredients
- 18 Hershey's Kisses
- 18 Mini Nilla Wafers
- 6 ounces Ghirardelli's Milk Chocolate Melting Wafers
Instructions
- Place the Ghirardelli melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat on defrost mode for 2 minutes, stir, then microwave for 1 more minute until smooth and fully melted.
- Transfer the melted chocolate into a piping bag (or a plastic sandwich bag). Snip a tiny hole at the tip so you can pipe a small amount at a time.
- Pipe a little chocolate on the flat side of each mini wafer. Press a Hershey’s Kiss onto the wafer and hold for a second until it sticks. Set aside to dry and harden.
- Pipe a small dot of chocolate on top of the wafer “cap.” Once it dries slightly, add another little dot of chocolate to create a raised stem.
- Let acorn cookies sit at room temperature until completely dry. Enjoy!
Notes
Use Good Quality Chocolate: Ghirardelli melts give a smooth, glossy finish that holds well, but any good melting chocolate works.
Keep Hands Clean: Try using tweezers or small tongs to avoid fingerprints on the chocolate.
Work Quickly: Chocolate hardens fast, so prepare your ingredients before you start melting.
Make Ahead Friendly: These can be assembled a day in advance and stored at room temperature in an airtight container.
