- In a mixing bowl, combine creamy peanut butter, melted unsalted butter, brown sugar, vanilla extract, and salt. Mix well until smooth and creamy.
- Gradually add powdered sugar to the peanut butter mixture. Blend until a thick, dough-like consistency forms.
- On a parchment-lined surface, take portions of the dough and shape them into tree forms, about ½ inch thick.
- Using a microwave or double boiler, melt your chocolate chips until smooth.
- Dip each shaped peanut butter tree into the melted chocolate, ensuring they're fully coated.
- Refrigerate each tree until the chocolate has fully hardened, about 30 minutes.
