If you’re a Reese fan, these homemade peanut butter Christmas trees will blow your mind!
Ingredients :
- 1 c creamy peanut butter
- cup melt un-salted butter
- 2 tsp sugar-brown
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- Half tsp of salt
- 2 c powder-sugar
- 10-12 oz. Chocolate chips or chocolate cut into small pieces (I used half semi-sweet chocolate and half milk chocolate)
Directions :
- An 8-by-8-inch plate with parchment paper, leaving the paper hanging down the sides so that you can easily lift it later and set it aside.
- Then in mix bowl, mixing peanut butter, melt butter, brown sugar, vanilla, also salt together to sugar dissolve. After that, mixing powder sugar.
- Press mix to prepared dish. Smooth top with spatula or simply tap it with your palms to flatten layer for an inch thick.
- Placing it in freezer to it is firm to chop.
- While mix is firm enough, line tray with paper-parchment also set apart .
- Use Christmas tree cookie cutter, cutting out trees & placing them on tray. Placing in freezer about 45-60 min to firm.
- Then melt chocolate also line other tray with butter-paper.
- Utilize fork, dip every tree in melt chocolate to covering it totally . Sweetly tap fork to drip off excess chocolate. (Since the peanut butter mixture softens very quickly at room temperature, I suggest you take only a few trees at that time out of the fridge, because it’s easier to work with hard trees!!! ) Placing chocolate cover Christmas trees on-parchment-line-tray . Putting it in fridge to chocolate-hardens.
- Refrigerate-or freeze about longer-storage.
- I made 18 Christmas trees, but the number depends on the size of the cookie cutter. Mine was about 1 x 2 inches.Don’t waste dough, scoop up the scraps, knead, squeeze with your palms, and you can cut at least 23 more trees.
Enjoy !
