Servings:

Makes 14-16

You’ll Need

1 cup green or white candy melts
1 cup pretzel sticks
Assorted sprinkles

Prep and Cook

Melt the candy melts according to the package directions, and then set aside to cool slightly
Transfer to a plastic zip top bag and seal tightly, pressing out any excess air
Place the pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet, spacing them at least two-inches apart
Snip the corner off the plastic bag and pipe the candy melts over the pretzel stick in the shape of a tree, leaving at least one inch of the pretzel uncovered so it can act as the stump of the tree
Immediately scatter the sprinkles over the tree and place in the fridge for 10 minutes, or until completely hardened
These make excellent toppers for cupcakes and/or cakes
Chocolate pretzel Christmas trees will keep in an airtight container for up to 5 days
