Chocolate Peanut Butter Christmas Trees

1 cup creamy peanut butter

¼ cup unsalted butter-melted

2 Tablespoons brown sugar

2 teaspoon vanilla extract

¼ teaspoon salt

2 cups powdered sugar

10–12 oz. chocolate chips or chocolate chopped in small
pieces (I used half of semi-sweet and
half of milk 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.
