EASY PEASY "SPICE PINE CONES"



Easy Peasy

We are going over the river and through the woods to see family today. Needed a last minute craft for the kids. Decided to make one up,using pine cones that we collect from our yard. I love the smell of Nutmeg but Cinnamon or any other spice can also be used to match the holiday you are making them for. Today I will be using dried, grated orange peel and grated cloves on some with the kids. These can be used as ornaments, name tag holders for your holiday table, or clustered in a glass bowl with ornaments for a last minute hostess gift. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Time 1h

Yield 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

½ cup semisweet chocolate chip
¼ cup creamy peanut butter
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups square-shaped chocolate
4 cups plain toasted rice cereal
¾ cup powdered sugar
¾ cup creamy peanut butter
⅓ cup chocolate hazelnut spread
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
1 ½ cups powdered sugar, plus more for dusting
8 pretzel rods, broken in half

Steps:

  • Make the muddy buddy cereal: In a medium glass bowl, microwave the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter for 1 minute. Whisk well, then microwave for about 30 seconds longer, or until the mixture is smooth. Stir in the vanilla.
  • Add the cereal to a large bowl and pour the melted chocolate over. Stir until evenly coated. Transfer the cereal to a 2-gallon resealable bag, along with the powdered sugar. Seal the bag, then shake until the cereal is well coated.
  • Spread the cereal on wax paper and let cool completely, then transfer to an airtight container until ready to use. The muddy buddies will keep for up to 1 month.
  • Make the pinecones: In a medium bowl, mix together the peanut butter, chocolate-hazelnut spread, butter, and powdered sugar until smooth and moldable.
  • Working 1 at a time, take a pretzel rod half and mold some of the peanut butter mixture around it, forming a cone shape. Insert pieces of the muddy buddy cereal into the cone, starting from the bottom and working up and around the rod to make the pinecone shape. Break the cereal into smaller pieces as you near the top.
  • Dust the pine cones with more powdered sugar.
  • Enjoy!
