Thanksgiving Acorn Treats
When you think of Fall and Thanksgiving, you think of pumpkins, leaves, changing colors, and probably acorns.
Let’s be perfectly honest here; acorns aren’t available everywhere.
I’ve never had one before, but I love how they look.
They are cute and look delicious.
Maybe they are, maybe they aren’t, but since I haven’t found them anywhere, I’m getting creative.
These cute little acorn treats are perfect for the Fall season leading to Thanksgiving.
These are also great treats for school parties, Fall gatherings in the backyard, or just because you want to make some easy fall treats.
This treat is a no-bake recipe and is ready in minutes.
With only a few ingredients, you’ll be able to whip up a batch of acorn treats in no time.

For the frosting, you can use homemade buttercream or store-bought frosting.
I like using store-bought frosting for two reasons.
One, there is a minimal effort on my part.
And two, it’s stiffer, allowing the cookie to easily stick to the HERSHEY’s kiss.
How to make Thanksgiving Acorn Treats
Ingredients
- Hershey’s Kisses, unwrapped
- Vanilla Wafers (or you can use Mini Ginger Snaps)
- Butterscotch Chips (find a variety of chips here)
- Frosting
Directions
- Taking one Hershey’s Kiss, apply a very small amount of frosting to the flat bottom. Gently press the frosting in the center of the flat side of a Vanilla Wafer (or ginger snap).
- Using one Butterscotch Chip, dab a very small amount of frosting onto the flat bottom and then press gently onto the center of the rounded side of the Vanilla Water.
In the updated version of this recipe, we’re using Mini Ginger Snap for the cookie base vs. Vanilla Wafers.
However, you can use either one, as they both work fine!
This no-bake treat is ideal for anyone looking for a cute but effortless treat!

Those are adorable and so easy… my only thought is where do I get vanilla wafers that small? Are they Nilla Wafers? Such a great idea!!
