Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 20 pieces Mini Nutter Butter cookies
- 20 pieces Milk chocolate chips
- 20 pieces Butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
Instructions
Place a piece of parchment paper on a clean, flat surface or baking sheet for easy assembly.
Scoop 2 tablespoons of peanut butter into a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 10–15 seconds until slightly softened.
Take one mini Nutter Butter cookie and dab a small amount of softened peanut butter on one flat side using a toothpick or small spatula.
Press one milk chocolate chip (pointed side into the cookie) onto the dab of peanut butter to create the 'acorn cap.'
On the opposite side of the cookie, dab a tiny amount of peanut butter and press a butterscotch chip (pointed side sticking out) to form the 'stem.'
Repeat this process for all remaining mini Nutter Butter cookies, milk chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips.
Allow the completed acorns to sit for 5–10 minutes so the peanut butter can firm up and hold everything in place.
Carefully transfer the assembled Nutter Butter Acorns to a serving plate or an airtight container. Store at room temperature or in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
