🍫 PEANUT BUTTER CHRISTMAS TREES (NO-BAKE METHOD)
INGREDIENTS:
- 1 jar Jif creamy peanut butter
- 1 container Betty Crocker chocolate frosting
- Shortening (as needed for consistency/shaping)
HOW TO MAKE:
- Line a baking sheet or baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter and chocolate frosting.
- Mix thoroughly until smooth and well blended.
- Shape the peanut butter mixture using shortening to help form and set the texture.
- Cut or shape the mixture into Christmas tree figures.
- Place the shaped trees onto the prepared pan and freeze them until firm.
- Prepare a bowl with melted chocolate or chocolate coating mixture for dipping.
- Use a fork to carefully dip each frozen peanut butter tree into the chocolate mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Let any excess chocolate drip off, then place the dipped trees back onto parchment paper.
- Allow them to set completely before serving.
TIPS:
- Freeze the shaped peanut butter trees thoroughly before dipping so they hold their shape in the warm chocolate.
- Use a fork when dipping to let excess chocolate run off cleanly through the tines.
- Work quickly so the peanut butter shapes do not soften up too much at room temperature.
STORAGE:
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer to keep them firm and fresh.
