How to make chocolate acorns

1. Melt a small amount of chocolate chips (1/4 cup or 1/2 cup) in a microwave-safe bowl.
2. Unwrap the Kisses. This is a great job for little kids.
3. Apply a little melted chocolate to the vanilla cookie and press a Kiss on top.
4. Give the acorn bases a minute to set up, then repeat with the mini chocolate chip on the top side of the cookie. Tip: It sounds fussy but using tweezers actually makes this easier.
5. Set the tray in the fridge for 10 minutes or so and enjoy!

Since the cookies will get stale after a day or so, these are best to eat right away or store in an airtight container.
