Chocolate Pinecone Treats
These adorable pinecone-shaped treats are made with smooth melted chocolate and crunchy almonds. They look festive on any holiday table and taste like cozy winter magic. ❄️🌲
🌰 Main Ingredients
1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
½ cup nut butter (peanut, almond, or sunflower)
2 tbsp honey or maple syrup
1 cup crispy cereal pieces
Sliced almonds for layering
Powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
👩🍳 Directions
➡️ Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in short intervals until smooth.
➡️ Stir in the nut butter and honey until creamy and well combined.
➡️ Gently fold in the crispy cereal pieces to create a thick, moldable mixture.
➡️ Scoop and shape the mixture into small mound-like bases to form the center of each pinecone.
➡️ Press sliced almonds around the mound, starting at the bottom and working upward to mimic pinecone “petals.”
➡️ Chill the pinecones in the fridge until firm.
➡️ Dust lightly with powdered sugar for a snowy effect before serving, if desired.
