SNOWY CHOCOLATE PINE CONES
Yields: 6 servings | Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients:
3 cups Chocolate Fiber One Cereal (can also use Chex Chocolate Cereal)
6 pretzel rods
½ cup peanut butter
¼ cup Nutella chocolate hazelnut spread
3 tablespoons butter, softened
1 cup powdered sugar (+ ¼ cup for dusting on top)
Directions:
- Mix the peanut butter, Nutella, butter and powdered sugar in a bowl
- Take a pretzel rod and mold some of the mixture around it, forming a slight cone shape
- Hold it steady by using the tip of the pretzel as a handle, and start inserting pieces of cereal into the mixture in a symmetrical pattern around the stick. Add more cereal pieces, staggering them as you move upward until you get near the top.
- If the pine cone is getting too tall, cut off the top of the pretzel and add more of the mixture to mold over the top so none of the broken pretzel is showing.
- Break apart cereal pieces to create smaller scales near the top.
- For a “snowy” effect, dust each pine cone with powdered sugar.

I love these Snowy Pine Cones. They look so cute and make a wonderful decorative Christmas Sweet. Thank you for this recipe.
I made these today for my husbands family Christmas and everyone loved them & thought they were very creative and delicious! I was a bit challenging when putting the check mix in to keep the shape together but it’s nice that the powdered sugar hides all of the imperfections! Easy to make and it has the “wow: factor for creativity!
How far in advance can you make these?
Elizabeth, what a stunning display! They look too good to eat. However, since they are made of chocolate, I also do not think I would be able to resist. Cannot wait to show these off.
