- 12 Nutter Butter® cookies
- 12 small pretzel sticks
- 6 ounces chocolate candy coating
- ⅔ cup chocolate sprinkles
- Cut the Nutter Butter® cookies in half through the center point. Break the pretzel sticks in half.
- Melt the candy coating according to package directions.
- Dip the cut end of a cookie into the candy coating, covering only about one-quarter of the cookie. Immediately sprinkle the chocolate sprinkles over the candy coating.
- Dip the end of a pretzel stick into the candy coating and then attach it to the candy coating on the cookie; this becomes the acorn’s stem.
- Place the cookie on waxed or parchment paper. Repeat with the remaining cookies. Allow them to dry until the candy coating is firm to the touch.
