SIMPLE INGREDIENTS YOU NEED FOR THE EASY CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS TREE PRETZELS

You will need the following ingredients listed below to make the no bake Christmas treats (the exact measurements, nutrition information and the printable recipe card are all below):

Pretzel sticks
Green candy melts or white chocolate chips dyed with green food coloring
Colorful holiday sprinkles (red, yellow, and any other festive colors you love!)
Mini candy stars or small candy-coated chocolates
Parchment paper
Optional – crushed candy canes, snowflake sprinkles, yellow star, coconut oil, etc.

HOW TO MAKE THE HOLIDAY TREATS

Start by melting your candy melts or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments. Can also use a double boiler if that’s your preferred method.
Scoop your melted candy melts into a piping bag or squeeze bottle.
Place your pretzel sticks onto your cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pipe the chocolate in a zigzag form onto the pretzel, creating a Christmas tree shape.
Sprinkle this fun Christmas treat with holiday sprinkles. Can add a star sprinkle at the top of the tree if desired.
Allow the chocolate to harden for 20 minutes before removing. Can also add to the refrigerator to speed up this process. Enjoy!

HOW TO STORE

Cool and Dry: Store your chocolate pretzel Christmas recipe in a cool, dry place. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and keep them away from heat sources to prevent the chocolate from melting.
Airtight Container: Place the Christmas trees in an airtight container to protect them from moisture and humidity. This helps maintain their crunchiness and prevents the chocolate from becoming sticky.
Layer with Parchment Paper:If you need to stack this festive sweet treat in the container, place sheets of parchment paper between layers. This prevents them from sticking together and preserves their individual decorations.
Refrigeration (Optional):While not necessary, you can refrigerate your chocolate pretzel trees for extended freshness. However, bring them to room temperature before serving to restore their delightful crunch.
