QUICK + EASY SNOWY CHOCOLATE PINECONES RECIPE

  • Recipe Submitted by on

Category: Kids, Chocolate

 Ingredients List

  • 3 cups Chex Choco­late cereal or com­pa­ra­ble (I used Choco­late Fiber One cereal)
  • 6 pret­zel sticks (I used the thicker dip­ping sticks)
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup Nutella (choco­late hazel­nut spread)
  • 3 table­spoons but­ter, softened
  • 1 cup pow­dered sugar

 Directions

Step 1
Mix the peanut but­ter, Nutella, but­ter, and pow­dered sugar in a bowl.

Step 2
Take a pret­zel stick and mold some of the peanut but­ter mix­ture around it, form­ing a slight cone shape.

Step 3
Hold­ing it steady by using the tip of the pret­zel as a han­dle, start insert­ing pieces of cereal into the peanut but­ter mix­ture in a sym­met­ri­cal pat­tern around the stick. Add more cereal pieces, stag­ger­ing them as you move upward, until you get near the top.

Step 4
Cut sev­eral cereal pieces into tri­an­gles and add those to the top (most pinecone scales get smaller toward the end.)

Step 5
If your pinecone is get­ting too tall (like mine were), cut off the top of the pret­zel and add a dol­lop of peanut but­ter mix­ture to cover it. Insert a few more tri­an­gle pieces of cereal into the top of the pinecone.

Step 6
For a “snowy” effect, dust the pinecone with pow­dered sugar.
