White chocolate mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup polar bears are the cutest, easy, no-bake Christmas treats of the season.

Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup polar bears 

For all its woes, the internet can be pretty great. (I know I’m extrapolating something big from a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup polar bear, but bear with me. Ha! “Bear.”)

One of my readers, Linda, wrote me with a great idea to make polar bears from white chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, as inspired by these Rudolph peanut butter cups , which happen to have been made by my friend, Beth, of Hungry Happenings.

The something big comes in with not just the small worldness and the kindness of Linda to share this idea with me, but the notions of collaboration, sharing, connecting, inspiration, and I could keep going. It’s the part of creating content that I like.

how to make white chocolate Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup polar bears

you will need:*

white chocolate mini Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups
candy eyes
icing, frosting OR melted white chocolate
dark brown M and Ms
mini marshmallows]

tips on finding supplies

Find candy eyes at the craft store or online.

You can use store-bought icing or frosting with a toothpick. I had a bag of icing made with a tip, so I piped it on.

The supermarket also sells icing in tubes with tips.

The most secure choice is to melt some white chocolate chips, pour them into a ziploc and snip a bit off the corner.

what to do:

Place a Reese’s upside down. Top with some icing, frosting or melted chocolate and rest another Reese’s on top on its side, the bottom facing forward.

Use the icing, frosting or chocolate to adhere candy eyes on the top and an M and M nose on the front.

Snip a mini marshmallow in half. Place each half, sticky side facing forward, on the back of the head for ears. The sticky side will stick, but you may want to also add a dab of icing for extra security. Let the icing, frosting or chocolate dry and serve.

Yield: 10 polar bears
