Fall is so wonderful in New England. The nights get cooler, the days crisper. Around here I’m pulling out my cowboy boots and hunting for scarves. The leaves will start morphing into vibrant reds, yellow and oranges in just a few weeks.

So here’s a fun little harvest snack that’s cute and quick to make, perfect to usher in the season. Not labor intensive. Not rocket science. These Peanut Butter & Chocolate Acorns are a fun little bite for harvest and fall classroom parties.

They fit the bill. A friend made them for a party last week. Big hit!!! I thought they were so clever, that you should know about them too. 🙂

  25. Those are awesome. Those peanut butter cookies might be hard to find in Australia. They're a terrific idea and love the squirrels too – we don't have those in Aus either! cheers from kid can doodle.

    • Thanks so much for dropping by Susan, and these acorns taste better than the ones in the back yard. I'm sure I would miss them too if I moved away. That and the jagged coastline. Have a wonderful weekend!!!
