Description

These delightful Reese’s Trees are a festive, no-bake treat made by stacking mini Reese’s cups, regular Reese’s cups, and Hershey’s Kisses, then decorating with icing, sprinkles, and stars. Perfect for holiday parties or a fun dessert, they are quick to assemble and visually charming.


Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips, melted
  • 24 mini Reese’s cups
  • 12 regular Reese’s cups
  • 12 Hershey’s kisses

Decorations

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


Instructions

  1. Assemble the base layer: Place a small amount of melted chocolate on the bottom of a mini Reese’s cup. Arrange a regular-size Reese’s cup upside down on top of the mini cup. Add another small drop of melted chocolate on top of the regular Reese’s cup.
  2. Add the top mini cup and Hershey’s kiss: Place another mini Reese’s cup upside down on top of the melted chocolate. Dab more melted chocolate on top and then place a Hershey’s kiss to form the tree pinnacle.
  3. Decorate the trees: Using white and green decorating icing, pipe garlands around the stack to mimic tree decorations. Sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for added holiday flair.
  4. Finish with a star top: Add a dab of frosting to the top of the Hershey’s kiss and adhere a gold star to complete the tree look.
  5. Optional snow dusting: Lightly dust the assembled trees with confectioners’ sugar to give the appearance of fresh snow.

Notes

  • Use melted chocolate as a sturdy adhesive to keep the tree layers in place.
  • Decorate with any colors of icing or sprinkles to match your holiday theme.
  • Make sure the melted chocolate is cool enough so it doesn’t melt the candies while assembling.
  • These treats are best served the same day for freshness.
  • Store leftovers in a cool, dry place to prevent melting.
