Ingredients
- 24 oz almond bark (or candy melts)
- 108 mini pretzel sticks
- Sprinkles (optional, such as mini sugar pearls)
Instructions
- Arrange Pretzels: Lay out the mini pretzel sticks on a wax paper-lined baking sheet in an arrow formation to resemble the shape of a tree base.
- Melt Almond Bark: Melt the almond bark or white chocolate chips in the microwave by heating for 30 seconds at a time, stirring between intervals until smooth and fully melted.
- Prepare Piping Bag: Spoon the melted almond bark into a resealable plastic bag and trim a small hole in one corner to create a piping bag.
- Drizzle Chocolate: Drizzle the melted almond bark over the pretzel trees, starting from the top and moving downward, ensuring to fill any gaps and coat the pretzels evenly.
- Add Sprinkles: While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the mini sugar pearls or other sprinkles over the pretzel trees to decorate.
- Set the Trees: Allow the chocolate-covered pretzel trees to sit and harden at room temperature for about 20 minutes until fully set.
Notes
- Use almond bark or candy melts for easy melting and quick setting.
- Working on wax paper makes removing the pretzel trees easier once set.
- You can customize decorations using colored sprinkles, edible glitter, or small candies.
- Store the pretzel trees in an airtight container at room temperature to keep them crisp.
- If almond bark is not available, white chocolate chips are a good alternative but may require careful melting to avoid burning.
