How to Make Nutter Butter Acorn Cookies
For easy cleanup, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Use a knife to cut 15 Nutter Butter cookies in half. Break pretzel sticks into 1 inch pieces and set aside. Pour chocolate sprinkles into a shallow bowl.

Insert a pretzel stick into the end of the cookie that was dipped into the chocolate.
Dip the chocolate end of the cookie into the sprinkles being careful to cover both sides.
