Instructions

Combine peanut butter, protein powder, maple syrup, and salt. Mix well until a thick dough forms, using your hands if needed.

Use your hands to flatten dough into a large rectangle. Use a Christmas tree shaped cookie cutter to shape into about five Christmas trees. If you don't have a cookie cutter, then do your best to shape them with your hands. Put in the freezer for about 20 minutes to firm up.

Melt chocolate chips with coconut oil. Coat the peanut butter trees in melted chocolate, letting any excess chocolate drip off. Place onto a wire rack or parchment lined tray. Optionally top with Christmas sprinkles- I used sprinkles that resemble Christmas tree ornaments.

Put in the freezer for another 15-20 minutes or until chocolate has hardened. Enjoy! Best stored in the fridge for up to 1 week.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Chill Between Layers ❄️
Freeze the peanut butter mixture for at least 2 hours before dipping in chocolate to prevent melting and ensure clean, defined edges on your trees.
Temper Your Chocolate 🍫
Melt chocolate chips slowly over a double boiler or in short 20-second microwave bursts to prevent seizing and achieve a smooth, glossy coating that hardens beautifully.
Protein Powder Integration 💪
Sift your vanilla protein powder with the other dry ingredients before mixing to eliminate lumps and ensure even distribution throughout the peanut butter base.
Coconut Oil Temperature Balance 🥥
Use coconut oil at room temperature when making the peanut butter mixture, but add it slightly warmed to the melted chocolate for better fluidity and easier dipping.
Create Tree Texture 🌲
Add sprinkles immediately after chocolate coating while still wet, or pipe small chocolate drizzles on cooled trees to mimic the signature ridged texture of authentic Reese's pieces.
