Ingredients
– 1 bag (16 oz) pretzel rods
– 2 cups green candy melts (or chocolate melts)

– 1 cup assorted sprinkles (holiday-themed)
– 1 tablespoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother chocolate)
– Wax paper (for cooling)
Instructions
Creating Chocolate Covered Pretzels Christmas Trees is easy if you follow these simple steps:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out wax paper on a flat surface to cool the pretzels later.
2. Melt the Green Candy Melts: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. If desired, add coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
3. Dip the Pretzel Rods: Take a pretzel rod and dip it into the melted green candy, ensuring it’s fully coated. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off.
4. Create the Tree Shape: Place the coated pretzel rod upright on the wax paper. You can also lay it down at an angle to resemble a tree.
5. Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle your holiday-themed sprinkles over the pretzel to create decorations.
6. Melt the White Chocolate (Optional): If you want to add a drizzled effect, melt the white chocolate chips in a separate bowl. Use a fork or piping bag to drizzle the white chocolate over the pretzel trees.
7. Cool the Pretzels: Allow the pretzel trees to cool on the wax paper for about 30 minutes until the chocolate has fully set.
8. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, you can display your Chocolate Covered Pretzels Christmas Trees on a festive platter.
These steps will help you create beautiful and delicious treats that are sure to impress everyone during your holiday festivities.
