Peanut Butter Caramel Chewy Christmas Wreaths

One of my very first posts was Peanut Butter Caramel Chewy Easter Egg Nests, where I took a basic 4-ingredient recipe and shaped it into a cute holiday treat.

At the time, I said I would be introducing Christmas wreaths in a few months.

My, how time has flown!

When I started the Jazzy Gourmet gift basket business a few years ago, Peanut Butter Caramel Chewies became my most popular item, regardless of its shape or size. Β There’s something about the crunchy Special K cereal, drenched in a peanut butter caramel that makes these puppies SO gosh darned addictive!

And the melted chocolate (or candy melts) really makes all the difference in sprucing up the wreaths. I like to pour the melted chocolate into plastic bottles, so that I can control it better than just drizzling it off of a spoon. Β I start by zigzagging the white chocolate back and forth. Β Then I turn the wreaths and drizzle the green from the opposite direction. Β Last, I dot 3-4 red plops on top for a berry look. It couldn’t be simpler!
