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. 🙂

We all know peanut butter and chocolate is the best combo. But these Peanut Butter & Chocolate Acorns are also the perfect little DIY craft. For kids of all ages. Super easy. Super cute. Fun to make, fun to eat.

Pretty much the easiest snack you’ll ever make. Use melted chocolate as “glue” to assemble the little acorn stems and caps onto the acorns. You may use tweezers to add the mini chocolate chip “stem”.

Ingredients

  • Nutter Butter Bites
  • Hershey Kisses
  • Mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. In a microwave-safe dish, melt about 1/8 cup mini chips to use as "glue"
  2. Dip mini-chips in melted chocolate and attach "acorn stems" to Nutter Butter bites.
  3. (It may be easier to use (sterilized!) tweezers than your fingers to attach the mini-chocolate chips - they're so tiny!)

  5. Let chocolate harden a few minutes and serve.

    Fun! I showed these to my daughter and she is so excited! She is wild for nutter butters and anything chocolate. What a fun and cute idea to make, especially now that all the class parties are approaching. Thanks for sharing!

    Do I ever LOVE this cute idea!!! (The picture of that squirrel about freaked me out, though -- let's just say we've had a "problem" with them in the past...)

    These are adorable!! (Except for the squirrel pics. I have an aversion to those rats with fuzzy tails. They have overrun our back yard!!) ;)

    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!!!

    Omgeeeeosh - I so love that you posted these - I made these for a Thanksgiving get together after reading your post that year and they were so fun to eat - and make! I need to break these out again- so so adorable! Happy FriYAY my friend - it;s getting cold here too - 55 this morning - whaaaaaat??? In September in GA???? Time to move! I once met a chap on a bus who told me that he only stayed in places where the lowest temperature was higher than his age - the older I get, the more I see his wisdom! :) Hoping y'all have a wonderful weekend XOXO

      Hi Jean - I just hold it between my fingers and dip the flat part, you just need a little melted chocolate to make it stick! Good luck and enjoy! Thanks for dropping by.

        Try using tweezers - I made a huge batch, maybe 150, two weeks ago - I sterilized the tweezers and it worked like a charm.

      Vanessa - so sorry, just saw I missed responding to this. I've made these as many as several weeks ahead and they've been fine. That's because all the ingredients are shelf stable, as long as you keep them in an airtight container. Hope you enjoy these!!!

    We’re making these for my granddaughter’s “Alvin” themed birthday party. We’re also making some with Mini Nilla Wafers for the non- peanut butter folks. We think they will all be cute for this Chipmunk themed party!

      What a great idea Joy. How fun. We get a kick out of Alvin and Chipmunks, perfect to use these little acorns. Nice to provide an alternative for the non-PB crowd too. Very thoughtful. I hope your granddaughter loves her party and has the best birthday ever!!!!
