Can I make Kisses Acorn Treats ahead of time?

Absolutely! These treats are perfect for prepping ahead. You can make them a day or two before your event and store them at room temperature in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 2 days, or you can refrigerate them for up to a week if you prefer.

Do I need to bake anything for this recipe?

Not at all. This is a no-bake recipe , which makes it one of the easiest fall desserts out there. You only need to melt peanut butter chips to act as the “glue.” No oven, no stress, and minimal cleanup!

Can I use something other than peanut butter chips?

Yes! You can substitute melted chocolate chips , royal icing , or even Nutella as your adhesive. If you want a nut-free option, use melted white or milk chocolate instead.

What type of cookies should I use?

This recipe uses mini Nutter Butter cookies , but you can get creative! Mini vanilla wafers, shortbread rounds, or any small cookie with a flat side will work beautifully. The goal is to have something bite-sized and sturdy enough to hold the chocolate.

Gently separate the Nutter Butter cookies into halves and remove the cream filling to create 50 flat pieces.
Melt peanut butter chips in a microwave-safe bowl until smooth, then transfer to a piping bag or zip-top bag with a snipped corner.
Pipe a small dab of melted peanut butter on the flat side of a cookie half. Press a Hershey’s Kiss onto it to stick. Repeat for all.
Pipe another small dab on top of each cookie and press on a mini chocolate chip to form the acorn stem.
