Super easy candy treats for AUTUMN ~ easy enough that your kids can make these! I used chopped nuts here, but would use crushed nuts next time (I think that would look better).
DATE NUT ACORNS
whole, pitted dates (as many as you want to make at a time)
1 whole almond for each date ........................................1 butterscotch or chocolate chip for each date
chopped or crushed nuts (any type ~ I used hazelnut here, but pecan, almond or walnut are fine)
canned frosting: chocolate, fudge, milk chocolate, caramel or spice (If you don't want to use canned frosting, you can melt a square or 2 of baking chocolate or melting chocolate.)
***
Stick a whole almond into each date and set the stuffed dates on a piece of waxed paper.
Put the crushed nuts on a small plate. Spread about 1-2 tsp. of the canned frosting on the top half of each filled date. Then roll the frosted end into the crushed nuts on the plate. Stick a chocolate or butterscotch chip on the top (cap) of your acorn. Let them sit on the waxed paper until the frosting hardens up. Then you can store them in a covered container (between sheets of waxed paper is best).
