How to Make Pretzel Stick Christmas Trees
This is a great no-bake recipe and a fun Christmas activity for kids!
1. Melt the Mint Chocolate
Place the mint white chocolate candies into a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second increments, stirring between each round, until smooth and melted.
2. Build Your Tree Base
On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange 3 mini pretzel sticks in a triangle shape. Make sure the pretzels are touching at the corners.
3. Fill With Chocolate
Spoon the melted mint chocolate into the center of the pretzel triangle, spreading it out to fill the shape and seal the pretzels in place.
4. Decorate!
While the chocolate is still soft, add Christmas sprinkles to decorate your tree.
5. Add Red Drizzle
Melt the red candies in a separate bowl using the same microwave method. Spoon into a pastry bag (or zip-top bag) and snip off a small tip. Drizzle red chocolate over the trees and add more sprinkles for extra sparkle!
6. Chill and Set
Place the baking sheet in the fridge until the chocolate hardens. Once dry, gently peel off the paper and enjoy your festive treats!
