Chocolate Christmas Tree Pretzels
These Chocolate Christmas Tree Pretzels are super easy to make - just 4 ingredients and ready in under 30 minutes. Plus they combine the flavors of salty and sweet.
Ingredients
- 15 Pretzel sticks
- 1.5 cups Candy melts
- Green food coloring few drops, extra if you want a deeper green color
- Multi-colored sprinkles
- 15 Star Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and place 15 pretzel sticks on it, a few inches apart.
- Microwave 1.5 cups candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds at a time until melted.
- If using white candy melts, add green food coloring and stir until your desired shape of green is reached.
- Scoop the melted candy melts into a piping bag and cut off the tip.
- Pipe the green candy melts onto each pretzel in a zigzag tree pattern. Make sure to leave the bottom end of the pretzel free.
- Sprinkle with rainbow or Christmas colored sprinkles and add a star sprinkle to the top if you have one. Set aside the pretzels for 10 to 15 minutes so the candy melts can set.

Notes
- You can add a minty twist to these by sprinkling crushed candy canes on top.
- We used white candy melts since that's what we had on hand and added green food coloring, but you can also just use green candy melts.
- If the candy melts are overheated, the texture will become lumpy, so take care to heat slowly.
