A few weeks ago I saw a recipe on Facebook for acorn cookies using Hershey's Kisses, mini Nilla Wafers, and butterscotch chips. I was a bit skeptical because A) FB/Pinterest recipes are notoriously spotty (some flat-out lie - take a look) and B) I'd already struck out trying to find chocolate Nilla Wafers for the chocolate mice I made for my birthday party, so I figured finding mini Nilla Wafers would prove equally futile. I made my skepticism known and moved on. However, the very next time I went grocery shopping, I stumbled on a plethora of mini Nilla Wafers! I had been dead wrong in my scoffing. Of course, this meant I had to try out the recipe. I made a few tweaks (switching out butterscotch chips for peanut butter ones and using chocolate frosting instead of decorator's icing), and they still came out just like the picture promised! I stand corrected, FB recipes. But I remain wary. Pinterest Fail has taught me that much. ;) |
