Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 bag (8-10 oz) Nutter Butter Bites
- 1 cup Milk Chocolate Chips
- 1 cup Mini Pretzels (broken into small pieces)
- 1 tablespoon Chocolate Sprinkles
Instructions
1. Prepare your workstation by lining a baking sheet or large plate with parchment or wax paper. This will be used to set the finished acorn cookies.
2. Place the milk chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each interval, until the chocolate is smooth and fully melted.
3. Take a Nutter Butter Bite and dip the top of it into the melted chocolate, ensuring the top is evenly coated.
4. Immediately dip the chocolate-coated top into the chocolate sprinkles to create the 'cap' of the acorn. Shake off any excess sprinkles.
5. Break mini pretzels into small straight pieces (about 1-1.5 cm in length). Use one piece as the 'stem' by attaching it to the center of the chocolate-coated top. Hold for a few seconds to secure.
6. Place the finished acorn cookie onto the prepared sheet to allow the chocolate to set.
7. Repeat this process with the remaining Nutter Butter Bites.
8. Allow the cookies to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to let the chocolate harden completely. For faster setting, place the sheet in the refrigerator for about 5 minutes.
9. Serve the acorn cookies on a platter or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
