Week 46

First hot chocolate of the season.

Yum.

Working on homework.

(Not fun.)

Acorn Cookies

I made something from Pinterest!

Acorn Cookies!

They were very yummy.

I brought them to both of our Thanksgiving dinners.

And we didn't come home with any.

I'd call it a success! 

Even though these cookies were easy, they were a little time consuming.

Having to unwrap a bag and a half of chocolate kisses is a lot.

Ingredients:

1 bag of Hersey kisses

1 bag of nutter butter cookies

1 bag of chocolate chips

Directions:

Melt some chocolate chips in the microwave.

Dip Hersey kiss into the melted chocolate and attach a nutter butter cookie.

Dip a chocolate chip into the melted chocolate and attach to the other side of the nutter butter cookie.

Note I put them in the fridge before I added the small chocolate chip on top.  This made the chocolate harden and made it less messy.
