Ingredients
Ingredients
- Wax paper
- Pretzel sticks
- Green candy melts
- Red and white nonpareils sprinkles
- Optional: Yellow star sprinkle or cake decoration
Instructions
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out wax paper on a flat surface. Arrange pretzel sticks in groups of three to form triangle shapes that look like Christmas trees.
- Melt Candy: Melt the green candy melts according to package instructions until smooth and pourable.
- Apply Candy Melt: Spoon or pipe the melted candy melts inside the triangle formed by each group of three pretzels. Make sure the candy touches all three sides to create a solid tree shape. Smooth out the candy if needed to create an even surface.
- Add Sprinkles: While the candy is still wet, sprinkle red and white nonpareils over the candy melts to mimic ornaments on the tree.
- Add Star Decoration: Optionally, place a yellow star sprinkle at the top of each tree for a festive finishing touch.
- Set and Harden: Allow the candy melts to cool and harden completely. To speed up the process, place the pretzel trees in the refrigerator.
- Serve: Once hardened, carefully peel the pretzel Christmas trees off the wax paper and serve as a delightful holiday treat.
Notes
- Melt candy melts gently using a microwave or double boiler to avoid burning.
- If candy melts start to harden before decorating, remelt carefully until smooth again.
- Use wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking while candy sets.
- Store finished pretzel trees in an airtight container to keep crisp.
- Customize with different colored candy melts or sprinkles to suit your holiday theme.
