We love nothing more than finding a DIY project that’s easy to prepare, quick to assemble, cute as a button and best of all edible! The little Hershey kisses acorns that we made for last week’s woodland theme baby shower are just that.  They doubled as treats and decor and were just the cutest addition to our dessert table.
