all-purpose flour (240 grams)

sugar (57 grams)

salt

unsalted butter (227 grams, cold (2 sticks))

condensed milk

egg (50 grams, slightly beaten)

pure vanilla extract (4 grams)

Heath Bits O’Brickle Toffee Bits (English Toffee Bits) ((1 package))

pecans (114 grams)

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F if using a glass dish) and spray a 9x13-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Set aside.

Pulse

In the bowl of a food processor, add the flour, sugar, and salt. Pulse 3 times to combine the ingredients.

Add the cold butter and pulse until the mixture is crumbly and the butter is just smaller than pea size.

Pour

Pour the flour/butter mixture into the prepared dish and press firmly down, being sure to get corners and edges.

Bake

Bake the crust 15 minutes and transfer from the oven.

Prepare

While the crust is baking, prepare the pecan pie topping.

Whisk

In a medium bowl, whisk the sweetened condensed milk, egg, and vanilla together.

Stir

Stir in the toffee bits and pecans; set aside until crust is ready.

Spread

When the crust is ready, give the pecan mixture a couple of stirs and slowly spread it evenly over the crust.

Bake the bars at 350°F for 25 minutes, or until golden brown and set in the middle.

Cool

Set the bars on a cooling rack to cool, and after 10 minutes, slide a sharp, thin knife between the pan and the bars to loosen the sides. Allow the bars to cool completely before cutting into bars.

These homemade Chocolate Peanut Butter Christmas Trees are just like your favorite Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups disguised as a fun and festive Christmas dessert!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Christmas Trees

peanut butter

unsalted butter-melted

Tablespoons brown sugar

vanilla extract

chocolate chips chocolate

Line 8 x 8 inch dish with parchment paper, leaving the paper overhang the sides so you can easily lift it later and set aside.

Then in a mixing bowl stir together peanut butter, melted butter, brown sugar vanilla and salt, until sugar dissolve. Next, gradually mix in powdered sugar.

Press the mixture into prepared dish. Smooth the top with spatula or simply press it with your palms to flatten into about ½ inch thick layer.

Place it in the freezer until firm enough for cutting.

When the mixture is firm enough, line a tray with parchment paper and set aside.

Using Christmas tree cookie cutter cut out the trees and place them on the tray. Place them in the freezer for 45-60 minutes until completely firm.

Then melt the chocolate and line another tray with parchment paper.

Using a fork, dip each tree into melted chocolate to cover completely. Gently tap the fork to drip of the excess of chocolate. (Since the peanut butter mixture softens really fast at the room temperature, I suggest you to take just a few trees at the time from the freezer, because it’s easier to work with the firm trees!!!) Place chocolate covered Christmas trees on the parchment paper lined tray. Refrigerate until chocolate has set.

Store in the fridge or freeze for longer storage.

I made 18 Christmas trees, but the number depends on the size of your cookie cutter. Mine was about 1 ¾  x 2 ¼ inches. Don’t waste any batter, pick up leftovers, kneed, press with your palms and you will be able to cut out at least 2-3 more trees.
