Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter not natural style
- 4 tbsp butter softened
- 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs finely crushed
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups milk chocolate chips or melting wafers
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening
- holiday sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Beat the peanut butter and butter until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, graham crumbs and vanilla and mix until a soft dough forms.
- Press the dough onto the parchment about 1/2 inch thick.
- Cut out trees with a small tree cookie cutter, press the scraps together and cut again. Lay the trees on the pan.
- Freeze for 20 minutes so they are firm for dipping.
- Melt the chocolate with the coconut oil in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth.
- Dip each tree with a fork, let the extra drip off, and set it back on the parchment. Add sprinkles right away.
- Chill for 15 minutes until the chocolate is set.
Notes
Freezing and setting time is not included. Allow about 40 minutes.
