FALL TREATS: Acorn Cookies, Hershey Kisses & Nutter Butter Cookies

Have you made these cute little acorn cookies yet? They are super easy to make. 

The perfect treat for Halloween, Fall and Thanksgiving.  Also an excellent treat

 to put in the kid's lunchbox When we made these yummy cookies,

 the children helping that day were 3, 4, 6, 8 and 10 years old. Fun was had by all! 

 We made our acorn cookies with the a Caramel Hershey Kiss.

 They were amazing!  You could also use the new Pumpkin Spice Kiss or a Chocolate Kiss.

Here are your ingredients. 

Mini Nutter Butter cookies

 Caramel Hershey Kiss and 

Mini chocolate chips

Using just the top of a Nutter Butter cookie looks great 

and you can get more acorn cookies per bag. 

The creamy center of the cookie comes right off.

We wanted to use regular sized chocolate chips (because that's what we always have on hand) 

 I think they looked nice too.  The butterscotch mini chocolate chips are another choice.

 Melt your chocolate chips in a double boiler or in a microwave and use as glue for 

the kiss and chocolate chip on top.  You know, it might be easier to put your melted 

chocolate in an icing bag and just put a drop of glue (chocolate) on the top and 

bottom of the cookie and then add the Hershey kiss and the chocolate chips. 

That way there would be no excess. I found I had to do all the tops (mini chocolate chips) 

first and let them set and then do it again with the Hershey Kiss.

Then there is this fun recipe from Hershey  called Kisses Acorn Cookies,

 that looks super easy to do too.  The perfect Thanksgiving activity for the kids.

Halloween Treat Box-Snickers Candy Bars and More-So Much Fun!

And now for a fun way to give those "special people" in your life a Halloween treat.  We've designed a Halloween package that will hide the treat.......which is a Snicker's bar. If you've got some trick or treaters that are special to you then don't just give them the candy you're handing out on Halloween night.  Make this easy but fun Halloween/Snickers box.  You use your favorite Halloween paper to make these. You'll recognize the bat that we used  to wrap our Halloween book marks and also the bat garland. It's one that you can use for so many things, well worth the money.

We used double sided scrapbook paper for this project.  One side will be the box and the other side will be the tall back piece. We used black grosgrain ribbon measuring 3/4"  It looks nice and holds the candy bar inside the box. Make a Happy Halloween tag that has blank space on the left side so you can hide the end under the moon. Be sure to use foam tabs to attach the moon, bat and tag. We used the EK Success bat punch. Click HERE to go to their web site.

We've added the "Thanks for coming" tag  with a black backing on the front of this one so you can use it as a party favor. One side of this paper is Halloween sheet music and the other side is a black and orange.

We've added a medallion to this one and a cute Halloween button. You'll need a scoring board to make the medallion or you could fold it yourself.  We didn't add a ribbon here because we wanted the pumpkin faces to show.  Just put a glue dot on the ends of the candy bar to keep it inside the box.  We used a larger "Happy Halloween" tag for this package.

Use double sided scrapbook paper for this project. It just makes it so cute with two different designs/papers showing. But you could use a solid piece of scrapbook paper if you like.

I love this pumpkin paper. We found it at JoAnn's. We cut out and glued the pumpkin paper to the back of this box. That's something you can do if you don't like one side of a paper you're using.  We used a "Happy Halloween" tag that is clipped in at both ends for this one and added the "thanks for coming" tag without a paper behind it. We used 3/4" grosgrain ribbon here.

Cut your favorite Halloween paper 4 1/2" x 7 1/4" and score at the 3/4", 2", 2 3/4" and 4" marks on the scoring board.

Fold the scored lines to create the box as shown above. For this design you will now glue the box together.

We used a 2 1/4" circle punch for the moon. You could use a 2 1/2" circle too. Cut out a "Happy Halloween"  tag that has a blank space on the left and finally a black bat is punched out.

You know I like to ink and that's what we've done here on the moon and the tag.  We also scored some lines in the bat so it would have some dimension but you can leave it flat.

I love using the foam tabs. It looks so much better than just gluing directly to the paper. If you want more dimension you could stack two foam tabs on top of each other.  Foam tabs are a must!

We're almost done now.  You can fit a regular Snickers bar or an almond Snickers bar into the box. A package of M&M's fit but it did stick out on the ends a bit.

Slide the snickers bar inside the box. It will fit perfectly.

We used 3/4" black grosgrain ribbon here. Just tie a knot instead of a bow.  Now you're done. Wasn't that easy.  This also makes a fun Halloween gift for teacher and it is inexpensive but special.

Do you have our "You've been Booed" printable?  We include the "You've been Booed" sign for the window, a instruction sheet and some free "You've been Booed" tags plus a fun way to wrap up the treats.  Click HERE to go to that post.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treat-Perfect After School Snack for the Kids

Are you a fan of Chocolate and Peanut Butter...and do you like them together? I recently saw a commercial for Peanut Butter Cheerios and I thought to myself...I could make a sweet treat with the Chocolate Cheerios and the Peanut Butter Cheerio cereals mixed together and adding in melted marshmallows....like Rice Krispies, only using Cheerios.  I picked up the cereal and marshmallows and made up the treat you see below.  It's pretty good.  You can really taste the peanut butter AND the chocolate as you eat one of these marshmallow treats.

Chocolate Peanut Butter Marshmallow Treats

3 tablespoons of butter

1 package (10 oz, about 40) regular marshmallows or

5 cups miniature marshmallows (this has more marshmallows then that other famous marshmallow treats recipe but I always add more marshmallow.  You'll find they taste even better)

3 cups Chocolate Cheerios

3 cups Peanut Butter Cheerios

In a large sauce pan, melt butter over low heat.  Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. Remove from Heat.

Add the both the Chocolate Cheerios and the Peanut Butter Cheerios and stir until well coated.  

Using a buttered spatula or wax paper, evenly press mixture into a 13x9x2 pan coated with cooking spray or butter. Cool.

Cut into 2 inch squares. Best if eaten the same day. (But I don't think you'll have any leftovers)

 So the stars of this recipe are the Chocolate Cheerios and the Peanut Butter Cheerios.  I think this treat would perfect to put in the kid's school lunch. The other kids will be jealous!

To see lots of fun things for the kids,
