Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
peanut butter Christmas trees
- 1/2 cup Unsalted Butter room temperature
- 3/4 cup Peanut Butter creamy
- 1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff
- 2 cups Powdered Sugar
chocolate
- 12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips or milk chocolate chips
- 1/2 square of Paraffin Wax or 2 tbsp of either coconut oil or vegetable oil
Instructions
- Prepare a small baking sheet or container lined with wax paper.
- Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment on medium-high speed, mix together the unsalted butter, peanut butter, and marshmallow fluff until completely combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl as needed.1/2 cup Unsalted Butter, 3/4 cup Peanut Butter, 1/2 cup Marshmallow Fluff
- Switch the mixer to low speed and gradually add in the powdered sugar. Mix together until the peanut butter filling forms (it should be soft, creamy, and a little sticky).2 cups Powdered Sugar
- Take a few spoonfuls and fill each Christmas tree cavity with the peanut butter mixture. Fill them almost to the top.
- Freeze the peanut butter trees until they are firm enough to dip into the chocolate - about 1 hour, but overnight is my preference.
- Using a double boiler (fill the bottom boiler with about 1″-1.5″ water), melt the wax over low-heat uncovered until melted. Then add in the bag of chocolate chips and stir continuously until melted.12 oz Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips , 1/2 square of Paraffin Wax
- Using 2 forks, carefully dip each tree into the melted chocolate then set back onto the wax paper. Repeat until all the trees are done.
- After the chocolate has hardened, trim off any excess chocolate from the bottom (optional step).
- Store the chocolate covered peanut butter trees in the fridge or you can freeze them (in a container) for up to a month.
