  • Author: Thomas
  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 10 Candy Christmas Trees 1x

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 20 green Individually Wrapped Mini Reese’s Cups
  • 10 individually Wrapped Rolos (gold foil)
  • 10 green Kisses

Instructions

  1. Preheat glue gun: Heat your glue gun so that it is ready to securely assemble the candies.
  2. Attach Rolo base: Place a small dab of hot glue on the flat, small end of a Rolo and hold it steady.
  3. Glue first Reese’s cup: Immediately press a green mini Reese’s Cup on top of the Rolo with its smaller, flat end pointing up. Hold it in place until the glue sets, typically a couple of seconds.
  4. Layer second Reese’s cup: Apply glue on the top of the first Reese’s Cup and press another green mini Reese’s Cup on top, maintaining the same orientation. Hold firmly to set.
  5. Add green Kiss topper: Dab glue on the top of the second Reese’s Cup, then place a green Kiss on top as the tree’s peak. Hold for a few seconds until secure.
  6. Attach bow decoration: Put a small glue dab on the back middle of the bows and firmly press them onto the crease between the last Reese’s Cup and the Kiss topper. Hold until firmly attached.

Notes

  • Be careful when handling the hot glue gun to avoid burns.
