Ingredients
Ingredients
- Wax paper
- Pretzel sticks
- Green candy melts (about 1 cup)
- Red and white nonpareils sprinkles (to taste)
- Optional: Yellow star sprinkle or cake decoration
Instructions
- Arrange Pretzel Sticks: Lay out groups of three pretzel sticks on wax paper, positioning them in the shape of small Christmas trees (a triangle formation).
- Melt Candy Melts: Melt the green candy melts according to package instructions, ensuring they are smooth and pourable.
- Fill the Trees: Spoon or pipe the melted green candy melts inside the triangle formed by each pretzel tree, making sure the candy touches all three pretzel sides. Use a spoon or knife to smooth the candy evenly if necessary.
- Add Sprinkles: While the candy is still wet, sprinkle the trees with red and white nonpareils to give a festive look.
- Add Star Decoration (Optional): Place a yellow star sprinkle or cake decoration at the top of each tree for an extra festive touch.
- Harden the Candy: Allow the candy melts to cool and harden at room temperature or speed up the process by refrigerating the trees.
- Serve: Once the candy is firm, carefully peel the pretzel Christmas trees off the wax paper and serve.
Notes
- You can substitute green candy melts with colored white chocolate or colored candy melts of your choice.
- Try different sprinkles or edible glitter to customize your Christmas trees.
- Keep the treat refrigerated if made in advance to maintain candy hardness.
- These treats are perfect for kids’ parties, holiday gifts, or festive snack tables.
