Peanut Butter Chocolate Trees Recipe | Copycat Reese’s

These homemade peanut butter and chocolate copycat Reese’s Christmas trees are no bake AND freezer friendly! You’ll love them so much for Christmas.

Copycat Reese’s tree ingredients

Well, it’s SO easy. You just need a handful of ingredients and a few cooking tips to make this peanut butter chocolate recipe. We actually made these cute little guys in pumpkin form for Halloween season!

Here are the few ingredients you’ll need for your no bake recipe that you’re going to be obsessed with.

• Milk or dark chocolate. I’m a dark chocolate lover all the way. My favorite brands are Divine Chocolate, Icelandic Chocolate, and Endangered Species.
• Creamy peanut butter. You can definitely swap for almond, cashew, or any other type of nut butter. The texture will be a little different but they all will work just fine.
• Butter. You could really use salted or unsalted butter here. If you want to be real decadent, try Kerrygold or another high fat European butter.
• Powdered Sugar. This is what makes the peanut butter mixture so fluffy and perfect. If you want your filling to be even fluffier, keep adding powdered sugar until you get your desired texture.

That’s it. Yep, that’s it! While actual reese’s Christmas trees might have a few more ingredients, these homemade ones are minimal and delicious.

Tips for freezer friendly peanut butter chocolate trees

You don’t need too many tips because these little Christmas trees are super easy. But, here are just a few things to make sure your peanut butter and chocolate desserts are flawless and insta-worthy.

• Cute Little Tree Molds. I use silicone molds for my copycat reese’s cup trees recipe! Joel bought me these large sized ones, but you could also opt for tinier little Christmas trees like this one here.
• Thin chocolate layers. The chocolate hardens in the freezer (duh) so opt for thinner layers of chocolate. I made the mistake of making thick layers of chocolate and it makes it hard to “crunch” through to get to the good stuff aka the peanut butter sugar filling.
• Bang the pan. Once you fill each layer. Bang your silicone mold (on a baking sheet) a handful of times to flatten the layers. It makes sure you have even and level layers with each bite.

Reese’s Eggs vs. Pumpkins vs. Trees

Alright, let’s battle this one out in the comments, my friends. I’d love to know your favorite of the seasonal Reese’s Cups!

I honestly think my favorite are the eggs. Don’t tell the other holidays.
