Ingredients
- 12 Nutter butter cookies
- 12 small pretzel sticks
- 6 ounces chocolate candy coating
- ⅔ cup chocolate sprinkles
Instructions
- 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.
- Makes 24 cookies

If you are looking for a fun gift this year, I highly suggest this Smart Cookie Cook Book – It would be perfect for kids and grandkids too!
Are you sure your ingredient list is correct? 24 cookies cut in half would yield 48 halves. 12 pretzels cut in half would yield 24 halves. Not enough pretzels for each cookie half, and the total yield would be 24 cookies with stems and 24 without……..
Thanks for catching that. We made changes to the recipe. It is only 12 nutter butter cookies. When putting the pretzel stick on as the stem, you will want to use about 1/3 of the stick. If it’s too long it looks funny!
No problem! I could figure out to cut more pretzels or reduce the number of cookies but was concerned if the adjustments would throw off the amount of candy coating and just which way I could expect that to go! This would be a great recipe for using up some left over candy coating but I hate to get in a recipe only to find out I am running short on something! Thanks for the clarification!
I love this idea! So dang cute!
