Please forgive my tardiness! My computer has been attacked by an ugly worm and we had to rush it (the computer, not the worm) to the hospital. Hopefully all will be well soon. In the meantime I am quickly trying to post by using my daughter's computer. As she is a grad student working on her thesis, I try not to hog her computer very often. I had prepared the pics for this post on Thanksgiving day but was unable to post them. I thought about saving this for next year, but I'm not very good at delayed gratification. So, here is a cute dessert for Fall (next fall, if you will).
This basic idea is all over the web, but here is a quick explanation.
You'll need:
*a box of mini Nilla wafers
*a can of chocolate frosting
*a bag of regular Hershey kisses
Put a big glob of the frosting into a zippered freezer bag. Seal it and cut a tiny slit into one corner. Squeeze some frosting onto the flat side of the Hershey kiss. Top with a mini Nilla wafer. With the squeeze bag, make a little stem on top of the Nilla Wafer. I photographed my daughter doing this because she actually has pretty hands and nails.
Let them set for a few hours to harden a little bit. We decorated some yummy cupcakes with served them as an alternative to pumpkin pie for dessert. Of course, most of us had a cupcake AND a piece of pumpkin pie.
