Since Christmas is right around the corner, these chocolate peanut butter Christmas trees are just what you need to ring in the holidays. Chocolate and peanut butter are the perfect pair, so what could be better than this sweet treat made with a festive twist? Jenna (@butternutbakery) has an easy, no-bake recipe for decadent and crispy chocolate peanut butter Christmas trees. It’s quick, simple, and oh-so-delicious!

“These peanut butter Christmas trees are salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy, and so easy to make,” said Jenna in her video. Plus, these trees even have a hint of caramel. What a splendid touch!

Ingredients

Peanut Butter Bars:

-1/2 cup of brown sugar

-1/2 cup of Karo light corn syrup

-1/2 cup of crushed pretzels

-3/4 cup of peanut butter

-1 cup of quick oats

-2 cups of crispy rice cereal

Chocolate Topping:

-3/4 cup of semisweet chocolate chips

-1/2 cup of peanut butter

Icing:

-1 cup of powdered sugar

-1 1/2 tablespoons of milk

-A couple of drops of green food coloring

-Sprinkles of choice

Directions:

First, combine rice cereal, oats, and crushed pretzels in a bowl. Then, melt down some brown sugar and corn syrup in a pot on the stove. Mix in peanut butter and stir until the concoction is smooth.

Pour the peanut butter over the dry ingredients, and stir until thoroughly combined. Next, press the mixture evenly into a baking pan.

For the chocolate topping, melt down chocolate chips and peanut butter and spread it on top of the mixture in the baking pan. If you have a dog or two, I’m sure they’ll appreciate it if you let them have a taste of a spoonful of peanut butter!

Chill the bars in the refrigerator for thirty minutes until they are set. Once they are ready, cut the bars into Christmas trees. To do this, cut the square in half, then cut the halves into triangles. Finally, decorate the trees with green icing and sprinkles.
