Equipment

  • Baking Sheet
  • Microwave Safe bowl
  • toothpicks

Ingredients

  • 50 mini Nilla wafers
  • 50 Hershey kisses candies
  • 50 butterscotch chips about 1/2 cup
  • Store bought chocolate frosting

Instructions

  • Place your mini Nilla wafers upside down on a baking sheet or cutting board.
  • Microwave the frosting, in a microwave safe container, on 30 second increments, stirring well in between, until melted.
  • Allow the frosting to cool slightly, and add to a piping bag with just the very tip of the bag cut off.
  • Pipe a bit of the chocolate onto the upside down Nilla wafers, and attach a Hershey's kiss candy to each one.
  • Once all of the cookies have a candy added, move them to the refrigerator to chill for 15 minutes.
  • For the butterscotch chips on top, pipe a bit of the melted frosting onto a saucer or something similar.
  • Take a toothpick and dip the tip of the tooth pick into the frosting, and place the tiniest bit onto the underside of a butterscotch chip.
  • Attach the butterscotch chip to the top of the Nilla wafer cookie.
  • Repeat this for all of the candies, and then chill for 15 minutes more.
