Nutty By Nature Fall Themed Cupcakes Recipe

This recipe is fairly easy and can be altered to use nut butter for those of us that love peanut-butter cup inspired treats.

Just swap the butterscotch chips with peanut butter or any nut butter of your choice.

How to Make the Acorns:

• Tip: I melted about 1/2 cup at a time since there are only 8 acorns in the mold. Make as many acorns as you need for cupcakes.

  
  

• Melt the Butterscotch chips according to the directions. Be careful not to overheat them. Put them in a disposable piping bag and snip the end off. Pipe the butterscotch into the cap part of the acorns.

  
  

• Melt the Milk Chocolate Chips according to the directions. Place in a disposable piping bag and snip the end. Pipe the chocolate into the bottom section of the acorns.

  
  

• Place the mold in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or until the acorns are hard. They will easily pop out of the molds when done.

For the Icing:

• Dip out some of the icing and add Golden Yellow Coloring Gel and a smidge of No-Taste Red Coloring Gel. Mix together to get an orange color.

  
  

• Place the icing in a disposable piping bag with a 1M tip. Pipe the icing on to the cupcake. Place an acorn in the icing.
