Peanut Butter Chocolate Acorns {Easy Fall Snacks}
Mini chocolate chips, Nutter Butters, and chocolate kisses are all you need to make these cute Peanut Butter Chocolate Acorns. Perfect for the fall season!
I was never a straight A student in school…from junior high all the way until my senior year of high school, my grades mostly consisted of B’s, C’s, and a couple of D’s.
I was painfully shy and in my mind, suffered from what we know now as social anxiety disorder. Except I like to call it, school anxiety disorder.
There was just something about being in a room full of my fellow students that just made me very nervous. Even if my closest friends were in the class, I still felt anxious.
I was always worried that if I blurted out the wrong answer in class or if I had a booger sticking out of my nose, everyone would poke fun at me.
Which, let’s face it, they probably would have….because children, tweens, and teens can be very mean. I spent the majority of my educational years locked up in a silent bubble.
It wasn’t until I went to college when I learned that it was ok to be myself and that it was ok to blurt out the wrong answer in class. I like to consider my college years as actually being the best educational years of my life.
I am trying very hard to make sure my children do not follow in my foot steps. I reiterate to my daughter over and over that it really is ‘ok’ to ask the teacher for help…and that you should raise your hand if you have a question.
Chances are, someone else may be wondering the same thing but just may be afraid to ask, like I was all those years ago.
I hope they take my advice to heart and realize that mommy does know a thing or two about life 😉
Aren’t these acorns cute?! Truth be known, they’ve been circling Pinterest for a few years, which is where I found them.
I was in a ‘fall’ mood yesterday and decided to put them together.
These are super easy and super fast (or like my kids like to say…speedy quick) to make that I actually caught Ava (my 8 year old) putting some together for her friends while I was doing the photo shoot above.
They only require 3 ingredients too! That’s it! I have no clue why I’ve waited till now to make them.
If you’re looking for a great way to usher in the fall season, these Peanut Butter Chocolate Acorns are it!
For a party, pair these with our recipe for Fall Harvest Chex Mix!
