An adorable holiday project you can make with your kids. Then use these festive Peanut Butter Cup Christmas Trees as decorations. My recipe card has the basic tree instructions, but feel free to grow your forest in any size and shape you want.
Refrigerate the peanut butter cups for 15 minutes to chill. Unwrap the Reese’s peanut butter cups and the Hershey’s kiss. Allow candy to come back to room temperature.
Melt the chocolate chips in 30-second increments in the microwave, stirring after each time. Place melted chocolate in a zip top bag, and cut a small tip off of one end.
Each layer of the tree can be decorated before assembling the entire tree, or after assembling the tree. To decorate, pipe icing onto the outside of the peanut butter cup, and place or sprinkle decorations on the icing.
Assemble the trees: Place a miniature peanut butter cup upside down on your work surface. Pipe a dot of melted chocolate on top and attach one upside down regular-size cup.
Turn another miniature cup upside down and pipe another dot of melted chocolate to attach it to the top of the first two cups. Finally, attach a Kiss to the top with another dot of melted chocolate. Attach a star or topper of your choice to the top of the kiss with a dot of melted chocolate.
Place trees in the fridge or in a cold area to allow the chocolate to set for about 30 minutes.
