Place another upside down mini peanut butter cup on top, and then top it with a Hershey’s kiss. It amazed me that the sizes formed a perfect little tree! We hope that you enjoy making these Reese’s Chocolate Candy Christmas Trees. They are a great project to make together as a family or with children, and then give them as gifts or use them at your holiday parties. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate, using a fork, dip each tree into the melted chocolate and cover completely. Gently tap the fork on the sides of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. And now for the fun part – Decorating it! You’ll have to excuse my messy lines below. I was busy taking photographs and I didn’t notice how crooked everything was until it was too late. The sprinkles pretty much hid the crooked lines, but it does look a bit messy below. Oops! Your chocolate covered peanut butter Christmas Trees can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days or in the freezer for up to three months.

Handmade Gift Idea

Add the softened butter, smooth peanut butter, salt, vanilla, and marshmallow to a bowl and mix until creamy.

Once the trees have completely set, use a sharp knife to trim any extra chocolate puddles that may have formed. Do not get too close to the centers. Any cookie or cake decorating items are perfect for decorating your peanut butter cup trees. Items such as sprinkles, stars, dragees and pearls make the perfect mini Christmas Tree ornaments and glitter. This includes a recipe variation for the chocolate covered peanut butter shaped Christmas trees. If you’re someone who requires a Keto diet, this recipe is perfect for you. It includes about 3 net carbs and tastes close to real thing. You can add the frosting garland before or after gluing them together. Whatever seems easier for your assembly is fine. I personally prefer to glue the peanut butter cups together and then add the garland, but it can be done either way.
