Ingredients
Materials
- Wax paper – enough to cover a flat surface
Main Ingredients
- Pretzel sticks – about 3 per tree
- Green candy melts – enough to fill each pretzel triangle
- Red and white nonpareils sprinkles – to decorate
- Optional: Yellow star sprinkles or cake decorations – for the tree tops
Instructions
- Arrange Pretzels: Place groups of three pretzel sticks on the wax paper in the shape of a triangle to resemble Christmas trees.
- Melt Candy: Melt the green candy melts according to package instructions, then spoon or pipe the melted candy inside each pretzel triangle, ensuring it touches all three pretzel sides for stability.
- Decorate Trees: While the candy is still melted and wet, sprinkle red and white nonpareils sprinkles evenly over each tree. Optionally, place a yellow star sprinkle at the top of each tree for a festive touch.
- Cool and Harden: Allow the candy to cool and harden completely; you can place the trays in the refrigerator to speed up this process.
- Serve: Once hardened, carefully peel the candy Christmas trees off the wax paper and serve or package for gifting.
Notes
- Use wax paper to prevent sticking and make removal easy.
- Ensure the candy melts are fully melted and slightly cooled before piping for smoother application.
- Place the pretzel trees on a flat surface to prevent candy from sliding off.
- You can substitute green candy melts with colored white chocolate melts if preferred.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
