Prepare Royal Icing: *
Stir together powdered sugar, warm water and pasteurized dried egg whites (meringue powder). Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until spreadable. If necessary, add additional water, 1 t. at a time, to get desired consistency. Transfer icing to pastry bag with a small tip.
Cover icing and tip of pastry bag with a damp paper towel to keep icing from drying out.

Place mini vanilla wafer cookies on a tray or plate with the flat side of cookies facing the top. Squeeze a small amount of icing onto bottoms of candy pieces. Immediately press candy bottoms onto vanilla wafer cookies. Allow icing to set.
Place a small dab of icing on bottoms of peanut butter or butterscotch chips; immediately attach to tops of cookies to finish acorn.
