Equipment
- Parchment Paper
- Baking Sheet
- microwave-safe bowl
Ingredients
- 16 each donut holes
I used glazed donut holes - 1 pkg Light brown candy melts
- 1 Fall Colored Sprinkles
- ½ Cup Chopped nuts
This is optional - ½ cup Thin Pretzel Sticks
Instructions
- Place the candy melts into a microwave safe bowl. Heat the candy on the defrost setting of the microwave for 1 minute at a time, stopping to stir after each round of cooking. Continue to cook in the microwave until the candy is completely melted and smooth.
- Shape each donut hole into a rough acorn shape. You can do this by squeezing the sides in slightly, and flattening the top a bit.
- Holding the pointed end of each donut hole, dip the top of it into the melted candy to create the cap of the acorn.
- Add some fall colored sprinkles or chopped nut to the melted candy on each dipped donut hole, and place them onto a parchment lined baking sheet to dry.
- Insert Thin Pretzel Stick broken into halves into top to make the stem
- Place the dipped donut hole acorns into the fridge for a minimum of 30 minutes to set, and then serve.
Notes
You can use any type of sprinkles that you have on hand to make these.
