4 Tbspbutter

softened

1 tspvanilla extract

2 cupspowdered sugar

2 Tbspmilk

1 ½ cupchocolate chips

⅓ cuppeanuts

Instructions

Step 1

In a bowl, add the peanut butter, butter, vanilla, and powdered sugar. Stir to combine.

Step 2

Add in the milk and stir again. I like to use my hands for this step.

Step 3

Make acorn shaped balls and place the balls on a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for 30-45 minutes.

Step 4

In a small bowl, add the chocolate chips and coconut oil. Microwave at 30 second increments stirring until melted completely.

Step 5

Coat each acorn ball in the melted chocolate using a fork to drip the excess melted chocolate off. Place back on the parchment paper and put back in the freezer for 10 minutes.

Step 6

Dip the acorns tops in the melted chocolate and then into the chopped peanuts. Allow the chocolate to set for 1 minute before sticking half of a pretzel stick into the top of the acorn.
