Candy Acorns are a cute edible addition to the kids’ table at holiday meals. They also make nice finishing touches to pumpkin pies and many other fall desserts.
– Unwrap as many kisses as you would like to make as candies. – Remove cookies from the box, set aside as many unbroken whole cookies as you have kisses.
– In a small bowl. Add the baking chips and the coconut oil.– Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between cycles until chocolate is melted.
– Using a toothpick or the thin end of a chopstick, add melted baking chips to the flat side of a cookie and attach the flat end of a kiss to the cookie.– Set the cookie, kiss side up.
– Allow to cool until chocolate is set and kisses are not easily removed from the cookie.– If melted baking chips have gotten hard, just microwave again using the above method.
– Again, using a toothpick or thin chopstick end, add chocolate to the cookie side opposite of the kiss side.– Gently lay the candy acorn on its side and allow to cool.– Once cool, use as decorations or place into a bowl for snacking.
