How has it already been three weeks since my fabulous trip to HERSHEY’S headquarters? Sigh. I miss Hershey’s. The luxury hotel room, the spa, the royal treatment, the excitement of working with the wow-amazing crew in the HERSHEY’S test kitchens. Oh yeah, and the chocolate. So very much chocolate. At least I have the chocolate in my kitchen. And so can you!! One of you lucky folks will receive: an apron, cookie cutters, set of recipe cards and variety of Hershey’s baking products from HERSHEY’S.
Scroll to the end of this post for the GIVEAWAY.
My latest chocolate adventure is a super-easy one. What with this baby coming in six days (yeah, SIX days), everything I’m making falls under the category of “super-easy.” Chocolate Christmas tree pops. Quick and yummy.
how to make chocolate Christmas tree pops
you will need:*
HERSHEY’S HERSHEY-ETS Candy Coated Milk Chocolates in red and green colors
disposable decorating bags
scissors
baking tray(s)
wax or parchment paper
lollipop sticks
*Find the disposable decorating bags and lollipop sticks (6-inch is best) in the craft store.
what to do:
Line a baking tray or trays with wax or parchment paper. Place ½ to ¾ cup of Hershey’s white chips in a decorating bag. Microwave at 50 percent power for 1 minute, 30 seconds. Massage the bag and continue to microwave at 30 second intervals until the chocolate is melted. Massage the bag to remove any lumps. TIP: Close the top of the decorating bag with a rubber band, if you like. Snip about 1/4-inch from the tip of the bag. Pipe a dot on the baking tray, place a lollipop stick on top, then pipe a tree on top of the stick. Don’t worry about precision! I just piped back and forth to make three rows of “branches.” Immediately press the green and red Hershey-ets into the chocolate. Fill the rest of the tray(s) and refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours.

What an awesome giveaway! The trees are so cute and easy looking
I have been drooling over those cutters for months now. Months I tell you!
I love those cookie cutters and (obviously) chocolate! Did you have a hard time getting the chocolate off the parchment? I’ve tried something like this for Valentine’s day and could not get the chocolate off in 1 piece.
I just recently found the Hershey’s Premiere White chips! They are so awesome! Not only are they less expensive, but they have a better over all flavor, better melting point; and are far less “waxy” than the competitor’s brand! I don’t have a blog, but I recently made some Carrot Cake Cookies using Hershey’s White chips and they didn’t last the night!
If only I lived closer to Hershey!!! I would love to win this and can’t wait to try the tree pops!
I love this, I have a party Sunday, I will be trying these, thanks!
Love this simple idea and it will be great to take to parties
Love using these chocolates in lots of my baking. Most recently I made some nice cake pops and used white chocolate for the shell.
Wow!!!! Definitely doing this for my Christmas goodie bags!! They look so amazing and easy!
This is one SWEET prize! Hey: when the going gets tough, the tough get chocolate!!
Thanks so much for the giveaway, oh, & more thing: I really could use this prize pack for Christmas baking for gifts. Blessings for a peaceful Christmas. <3
I love finding new ideas for Christmas! and Hersey’s recipes are awesome
I love how simple the trees are! Hersey’s are awesome! Would put this to good use.
