Ingredients

• 1 package peanut butter Oreos
• 1 8 oz. package cream cheese softened
• 12 oz Chocolate chips or Chocolate Candiquick chips
• 6 oz Butterscotch or Peanut Butter chips
• Brown Sprinkles
• Pretzel Sticks

Instructions

• Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature
• Put Oreos in the food processor and pulse until you have crumbs. You may need to split this into two batches
• depending on the size of your food processor.
• Once the cream cheese is softened, mix the Oreos and cream cheese together until well blended.
• Use a heaping tablespoon of the mixture to form into acorn shapes. To form, roll into an elongated ball, then pinch
• one end to make it slightly tapered. Place the acorns on a baking sheet with wax paper and place them in the
• freezer for 1 hour.
• After the acorns are hard, melt the chocolate. Dip each acorn into the chocolate with a fork. Tap the edge of the
• bowl to remove any excess chocolate – then place back on parchment paper. Continue until all acorns are dipped,
• and then allow them to come to room temperature to harden.
• Once the chocolate covered acorns are hardened, melt the butterscotch chips and pour brown sprinkles into a
• separate bowl.
• Dip the tops of each chocolate covered acorn into the butterscotch – then immediately dip into the sprinkles.
• Cut ½ inch pieces of the pretzel sticks. Dip the edge of each pretzel stick into the butterscotch and press into the
• top of each acorn. Return to baking sheet to allow the pretzels to set before serving.
