Although most people I know love and appreciate good food, not everyone I know likes to cook. In fact, one could even go so far as to say that the world is divided into two groups – those who truly love to cook and those who simply wish they never had to cook again. Thanksgiving makes the first group giddy just planning the menu, but the second group really has better things to do than pull raw giblets out of turkey cavities. Just in case you are in the second group, and you have been assigned to bring something to the family gathering for Thanksgiving Day, I have a recipe for you, guaranteed to be hit. These goodies do not require you to turn on an oven, to set a timer, or to use a mixer. The toughest skill required here is to be able to unwrap a package of Hershey’s kisses.
I have seen different versions of these Acorn Kisses from several other sources. Most of them are made with either Nutter Butter Bites or Vanilla Wafer Bites. I couldn’t make mine with either of those ingredients because one of my grandchildren has an allergy to peanuts and tree nuts. Reading labels closely is a requirement when a family member has a serious allergy. Not even all brands of chocolate chips or canned frostings are safe for a person with a peanut allergy. I looked for alternative ingredients for my little Acorn Kisses so they would be safe for the whole family.
Whether or not you are a person who likes to cook, this might be a treat you’ll want to make for your Thanksgiving dessert table. Acorn Kisses are super easy and very yummy. Some assembly required.
These are adorable!!!! What a cute little treat!
Anita, these are adorable!!! I like the striped cookies better! Your post made me laugh. I love to cook but the thought of pulling raw giblets out of a turkey cavity makes me cringe. No thanks! =o) But I'll take about 2 dozen of these cuties!
Very cute! I'm sure the kids were thrilled:@)
Aren't they cute??!! I love your plate, too, Anita. It's perfect for serving your acorn kisses.
Your little acorns look so good! I also love your plate!

Thank you Anita, I was just looking at these the other night thinking I may make a few more of these again this year. Thank you for speaking of the wednesday baker blog. I love the little plate you put them on. Well, I love to cook so that is my group but so many folks I know hate to cook……..I have a hard time with that……A Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family Andi
I love those fudge stripe cookies. Will try this!
Clever! Pinning for future reference 🙂
What fun! I think my kids would love assembling these just as much as they would like to eat them.
These are so fun! A great place setting present for this Thursday! Thanks so much for sharing! LOVE IT!
I lost my power and was offline for two weeks and now, I am having such fun, exploring my favorite blogs. This cookie is delightful.
