Welcome to the National Peanut Butter Cup Forest … the sweetest forest in the land 
If my hubby got lost in this forest, he would eat his way out … or in!
Anyway, I’m sure you see how super simple … easy peasy … these are to make. I spent more time unwrapping candies than assembling the trees!
Here are the few items you will need … peanut butter cups (snack & miniature sizes), chocolate kisses, white chocolate (or candy melts) and white non-pariels …
Melt the white chocolate (this will be the “glue” that holds each layer together) and put it in a squeeze bottle or ziptop bag with a tiny cut off corner.
Set up an assembly line …
- Tree trunk – upside down mini PB cup – white chocolate “glue”
- 1st layer – upside down snack size PB cup – drizzle white chocolate around the edges & sprinkle with non-pariels
- 2nd layer – upside down mini PB cup – repeat drizzle & sprinkle
- 3rd layer – chocolate kiss – repeat drizzle & sprinkle
Each tree requires … 2 mini PB cups, 1 snack size PB cup & 1 chocolate kiss
Can you believe how easy that was?
Oh … do you want to know who won the giveaway? The lucky winner is # 4 – Bam’s Kitchen (Bobbi)!!! Congratulations!
Bobbi, please contact me (sweetsimplestuff@hotmail.com) with your mailing address so that I may mail your goodies.
I want to build a house in the middle of the National Peanut Butter Cup Forest. Yum-m-m-y! Congratulations to Bobbi on her win.
I know several people that will help with the house building
Thank you! I am so very delighted but my teenage boys will be jumping for joy. My boys always learn over my shoulder when I am reading your posts and say, “Mom why don’t you make these for us?” Now I guess I do not have an excuse. These little Christmas trees are so unique and sound so simple to make and will make the boys holiday extra special. Thanks so much for thinking of us. Take care, BAM
I believe that the boys should help … at least with the clean up
You bet! My boys are the built in clean up team in more than one way. They eat everything in sight, so then they have to clean the dishes too. Take care, BAM
OMG; what sweet and adorable, trees. These I just gotta make; providing I don’t eat more of the candy first before getting the trees made.
Congratulations to Bobbi on the win.
Here is my tip of the day … count your candy first … any leftovers are fair game
These are absolutely the most adorable trees I have ever seen.., yummy!
Congratulations Bam!!!
Thanks … the best part is how easy they are to make
what a simple and different way to make “trees” for decorating a gingerbread house.
Great idea
i love these trees, I’m afraid if I tried to make them that as soon as i get one made I would eat it and so on and on. LOL They sure are a great treat.
Maybe you need a helper … they could hide the trees from you
I can’t get over how CUTE these are! Fantastic idea. Perfect for our homeschool craft party. Thank you.
Great project for the kids … it’s kind of like building blocks
oh wow! how genius are you?
these are awesome!
You are too kind
I will say … they taste awesome … Reese’s PB Cups & Hershey Kisses … you can’t go wrong!
Thank you for this adorable idea. I made these this afternoon and they went together beautifully…Such an easy thing that looks elegant and fun!
I am so happy for you
Very clever and so easy. I’m thinking of tinting the white chocolate green to make both white and green trees. Would use white pariels in either event. Thanks so much for this too cute idea.
That’s a wonderful idea … unleash your creativity
P.S. remember to use oil based or powdered food coloring.
