What You’ll Need

• Bottom layer: (1) Rolo (gold foil)

• Middle layers: (2) Reese’s Holiday Peanut Butter Cups

• Top layer: (1) Hershey’s Kiss (any foil color)

• Optional decorations: small bow, mini tag, glitter “snow,” or faux fluff

• Adhesive: low-temperature hot glue gun or double-sided tape

• Packaging:

  • 1 tree fits in a Small Stand-Up Pouches PackFreshUSA Stand-Up Pouch

  • 2 trees fit perfectly in a Medium Stand-Up Pouches Stand-Up Pouch

  • Try 5 mil Gold/Clear Stand-Up Pouches or 5 mil Silver/Clear Stand-Up Pouches or a festive look

How to Assemble

1. Start with the base:  Hot Glue or tape a Rolo (flat side down) as the trunk base. (I like the gold foil best)

2. Stack the Reese’s Cups: Place two Reese’s Holiday Peanut Butter Cups, largest on bottom, smaller one on top. Repeat glue or tape process. 

   • For a true green tree, use green-foil Reese’s cups for both layers.

   • For a gold tree, use all gold foils.

   • For a red tree, red-foil candies for a vibrant pop!

   • I like adding a cute small bow to the top of the kiss to give it that something extra.

3. Top it off: Add a Hershey’s Kiss on top and finish with a tiny bow for the perfect tree topper. (I usually match the Hershey's Kiss with the tree color (Reeses Peanut Butter Cup)

4. Add finishing touches:

   • Place your tree in a PackFreshUSA Stand Up Pouches (small size for 1 tree and medium for 2 trees) 

   • I used mini - mini dehydrated marshmellows to add that touch of snow

   • Or Add glitter or white fluff at the bottom for a snowy effect.

   • Attach a small holiday tag to complete your sweet gift.
