Chocolate Acorns

Step 3: Glue Together with Almond Bark

I heated up almond bark in a bowl with the microwave.  It was easier to apply the chocolate chip to the cookie first.  I used a knife and applied a little bit of almond bark to the back of the chocolate chip and then stuck the chocolate chip to the top of the cookie.  Then I let  almond bark dry so the chocolate chip would not fall off.

Once dry, I unwrapped the hershey kisses and applied the almond bark to the hershey kiss.  Then I attached the hershey kiss to the bottom side of the cookie.   Just a note, watch how much almond bark you apply because the kiss will slide off of the cookie. I had to go back and adjust a few before they dried.  I let the almond bark dry and my Chocolate Acorns were ready for the cookie tray.

Hope you Enjoy!

I understand what Almond Bark is, but I've never seen it look quite like your picture...could you just use a few kisses melted as the "glue" instead? Not sure where to get the stuff you are using...Very very cute. I may have to give these a try before Christmas!

I'm not a chocolate expert but almond bark for me was a little easier. Plus we happened to have a bunch of almond bark left over from other projects. :)

We used melted chocolate as you suggested and it worked great! We also used the mini vanilla wafers (as suggested in the comment below) after a failed attempt at making mini shortbread cookies. Saved a boatload of time! They came out great and will make great additions to cookie gift trays.

Those are adorable! I love them! You would love meringue mushrooms if you like acorns. I wonder if there's an instructable for those...?
