Servings: 30 Christmas Trees
Equipment
Ingredients
- 12- ounce bag dark green candy melts
- 30 Dipping pretzel sticks
- Rainbow and Christmas sprinkles
- Candy stars
Instructions
- Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the pretzels about 3 inches apart on the baking sheet. Line them up in rows, leaving equal distance in between.
- Place candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and melt at 50% powder for 1 minute. Stir and melt at 100% powder for an additional 30 seconds until melted.
- Place the melted candy into a piping bag. Cut a small hole in the end. Pipe a zigzag pattern across each pretzel stick. Start with a small zigzag at the top and continue to graduate until you reach the bottom to make the effect of a pine tree. Be sure to leave about ¼ of the pretzel uncovered for the tree trunk.
- Decorate with sprinkles and place a star at the top of each tree. Allow to harden for at least 60 minutes. Carefully remove from parchment and place on your favorite serving tray.
- Serve and ENJOY!
Notes
- To shorten the hardening process, place the sheet of trees in the fridge to speed up the hardening process.
- Store these Christmas tree shaped pretzels at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 5 days. You can also store them in a plastic bag, but they are more at risk to break if not kept in a sturdy container.
- I do not recommend refrigerating because the change in temperature could cause the chocolate to sweat and make the pretzels stale.
