Description

These adorable Reese’s Trees are the perfect no-bake Christmas treat, combining layers of mini Reese’s cups, regular Reese’s cups, and Hershey’s kisses decorated with festive icing, sprinkles, and stars. Easy to make and visually delightful, they bring a cute and tasty element to your holiday dessert table.

Ingredients

Scale

Chocolate Layer

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted

Chocolate Cups

  • 24 mini Reese’s cups
  • 12 Reese’s cups (regular size)
  • 12 Hershey kisses

Decorations

  • White and green decorating icing
  • Sprinkles
  • Gold stars
  • Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Base: Place a small amount of melted chocolate on the bottom of a mini Reese’s cup. This melted chocolate will act as glue to hold the layers together securely.
  2. Build the Tree Layers: Arrange a regular-size Reese’s cup upside down on top of the mini Reese’s cup. Then, add another small drop of melted chocolate on top of the regular Reese’s cup.
  3. Add the Top Layer: Position a mini Reese’s cup upside down on top of the regular Reese’s cup. Dab more melted chocolate on this mini cup’s top to hold the final piece.
  4. Top with Hershey’s Kiss: Place a Hershey’s kiss on the very top of the tree, pressing gently into the melted chocolate to secure it.
  5. Decorate the Trees: Using white and green decorating icing, pipe garlands around the trees. Sprinkle with festive sprinkles to add color and texture. Add a dab of frosting on top of the Hershey’s kiss and adhere a gold star for a finishing touch.
  6. Add Snow Effect (Optional): Lightly dust the assembled trees with confectioners’ sugar to mimic fresh snow, enhancing the holiday feel of the treat.

Notes

  • This is one of the easiest Christmas desserts to make, requiring no baking, just assembly and decoration.
  • You can prepare these trees ahead of time and keep them refrigerated to maintain freshness.
  • Use quality chocolate chips for melting to ensure smooth adhesion and taste.
  • For a variation, try using different colored icings or sprinkles to match your holiday theme.
