Peanut Butter Blossoms
The holiday season is in full swing, so you know what that means… Time to decorate ALL of the holiday cookies! Honestly, it really is one of my favorite traditions — sprinkles and chocolate and food coloring (oh my!) — it doesn’t get much better than that. This year, forego the classic sugar cookies and give these Hershey Kiss peanut butter blossoms a try instead! I know they may look like simple peanut butter cookies with chocolate on top, but you can actually customize these Christmas cookies into several different and delicious varieties. My hard-core peanut butter lovers can use bite-sized Reese’s cups instead, and for my caramel people, try Rolos or Milk Duds. The possibilities are endless! Whether you’re celebrating the season with close family or having a socially-distanced gathering, these easy peanut butter blossom cookies are sure to be a hit.

How to Make Peanut Butter Blossoms
Make it Festive for the Holidays
Mix up the toppings. While the classic peanut butter blossoms recipe calls for classic chocolate Kisses, you can really use any, bite-sized chocolate treat. Stay within the Hershey Kisses family with white chocolate, dark chocolate, caramel, or peppermint varieties, or branch out and try Rolos, Reese’s or Andes Chocolate Mints. Give as small gifts. I always look forward to giving (and getting) little holiday treats from friends, co-workers, and neighbors. I like to place a few in a festive plastic bag and seal tightly with a colorful twist tie. It’s important to note that these kinds of bags aren’t the best for storage and keeping the cookies fresh for a long time, so be sure to give these away within a day or two of putting in the bags.
