Deliciously Unique Hershey Acorn Cookies

Instructions

1. Unwrap all 30 Hershey’s Kisses and set them aside. Prepare a tray lined with parchment or wax paper for easy cleanup.
2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt ¼ cup chocolate chips in 20-30 second intervals until smooth, stirring between each interval.
3. Pick up a mini Nilla Wafer and dip the flat side lightly into the melted chocolate.
4. Press the wafer onto the flat base of a Hershey’s Kiss to create the acorn “cap.” Let set on the prepared tray; repeat with the remaining cookies and kisses.
5. Once all are assembled, dip the flat end of a mini chocolate chip into the melted chocolate and attach it to the top center of each wafer, forming the acorn “stem.”
6. If desired, sprinkle lightly with festive sprinkles before the chocolate fully sets.
7. Let the cookies rest until the chocolate is firm (about 15 minutes at room temperature, or speed up the process in the fridge).
8. Serve and enjoy, or store in an airtight container up to 5 days.
