Time 2h20m

Yield Makes about 3 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
6 ounces good-quality semisweet chocolate
36 branch-shaped pieces from mini pretzels

Steps:

  • Stir together peanut butter and butter in a bowl with a wooden spoon. Add sugar; work into a smooth dough with your hands. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Using the palms of your hands, roll dough into 1 1/2-inch oblong "acorns" (you should have 36), flatten 1 end of each a bit with your fingertip, and place on a waxed paper-lined rimmed baking sheet. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, melt chocolate in a bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Working with 1 acorn at a time, insert a toothpick into rounded tip, dip flat end into chocolate, then return to baking sheet. Remove toothpick, and insert a pretzel piece into the chocolate-dipped end of each acorn. Refrigerate until chocolate is set, about 2 hours.

These acorns are a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll probably use less sugar next time.

These acorns are the perfect size for a party. They're small enough to be a bite-sized snack, but they're also big enough to be satisfying.

I'm allergic to peanuts, so I used almond butter instead. They turned out just as delicious.

I used dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate. It gave the acorns a richer flavor.

I had some leftover peanut butter cups, so I used those instead of making my own filling. They worked perfectly!
