Our middle daughter and I made three kinds of truffles and candy acorns as favors for the wedding of our friend Justin and his bride Dana. The wedding had a fall theme, so the truffles were dipped in orange, yellow and chocolate candy coatings.
The chocolate covered one with the orange sugar crystals is a buttercream.
The yellow one is a Chocolate Cream.
The orange one with green sugar crystals is a Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffle.
When I made the pumpkin ones, I tripled the recipe and it made about 90 truffles. I used the recipe as it was written, except for substituting graham crackers for the gingersnaps and adding 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger. I didn’t want to buy an entire box of gingersnaps for the little bit needed for the recipe.
The acorns were cute and very easy to make. I used this site as inspiration. Just revised it a bit for something we liked even better.
The acorn caps are Nutter Butter Bites. We took the mini sandwich cookie apart and just used the cookie part. The caps were placed on the cookie sheet upsidedown. The chocolate Hersheys Kisses were dipped in melted chocolate and then stuck to the mini cookies. When set (just a few minutes), peanut butter chips were attached to the top as a stem, using melted peanut butter chips.
The truffles were placed in dark brown tulip baking cups and wrapped with an ivory tulle circle, then tied with a dark brown satin ribbon.
Ready to take to church…
Extra acorns were placed in mini cups and set on the tables.
My thanks to all the people in our church family who worked with love to make Justin and Dana’s wedding something special! I am sure it has made Dana feel warmly welcomed in her new country, by her new church family, and with her new husband! May God bless their life together!

They were wonderful. My favorite was the chocolate cream centers. Tom like the buttercream. They were perfect for the fall colors and theme.
They looked stunning on the table. Love the dark brown paper wrapped in tulle and finished with the satin ribbon.
