Fall treats....

This is a sweet treat we will make the end of this week for Grace to take to school for her Halloween party at school! I can't tell you that Halloween is our favorite holiday, but I know it's exciting for kids and we try to do more "Fall/Harvest" things and focus on that! So when I came across this idea a few years ago it became a yearly tradition.......(The only thing to keep in mind when you're eating these like popcorn, haha, is you are eating an ENTIRE Hershey's Kiss so limit yourself!

Start with a box of Mini Nilla wafers and a bag of Hershey kisses(any flavor!). (These are not my photos, I googled them but they are perfect to show how they're made!)
Have your kids peal the wrappers off the kisses, pour them out on to a tray.
Spoon 3-4 Tb. Chocolate or caramel canned frosting into a piping bag with a writers tip OR into a Ziploc freezer bag(you could use a reg. Ziploc baggie but they aren't very strong and sometimes I've had them burst on me!) and snip just a TINY hole, I mean tiny like a toothpick width because it will expand as you pipe! If you don't want to bother with the piping you can just use a butter knife and put the icing on the cookie and skip the stem as you'll see!
Pipe a pea sized dollop of icing onto the flat edge of the cookie and press a Hershey's kiss onto the cookie. Keep going until you've used up all your Kisses. Then pipe just a dot of icing on top of the cookie and pull up as you pipe to create a little "stem" look!
EASY PEASY and oh so yummy!! you might want to do a few bags of Kisses, I'm telling you they will go fast!!
Do these the night before so they have time to set up and dry well, this helps them stay together! Put these on top of a Chocolate cake to decorate it, so cute!
Enjoy your week all.........it's a gorgeous day here today! unseasonably warm for this time of year! We have one layer of leaves raked but there are many MORE MORE MORE layers to come......our yard is full of Oak trees that seem to be stubborn in giving up their leaves until after Turkey day! Happy Fall Y'all!!!
