Candy Acorns Instructions
- Unwrap as many kisses as you would like to make as candies. Set aside. A full 11 ounce bag will make about 75 cookies.
- Remove cookies from the box, set aside as many unbroken whole cookies as you have kisses. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, add ½ of 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. You will need much less baking chip glue, attach an un-melted baking chip.
- Gently lay the candy acorn on its side and allow to cool.
- Once cool, use as decorations or place into a bowl for snacking.
Notes
Full-sized or mini chocolate chips can be used for the acorn stem. Do not add a lot of chocolate to the stem end or the 'stem' will slide off. Allow the cookies a few minutes to set after adding the kiss before attempting to attach the baking chip.
