24 milk chocolate candy kisses (such as Hershey’s Kisses), unwrapped

24 butterscotch chips
Instructions
- Smear a small amount of chocolate frosting onto the flat bottom of a chocolate kiss. Press onto the flat bottom of a vanilla wafer cookie.
- Add a small dab of frosting to the flat side of a butterscotch chip. Press onto the rounded top of the same cookie to form the acorn stem.
- Repeat with remaining frosting, kisses, wafers, and butterscotch chips.
