RECIPE INGREDIENTS

» For Chocolate Pretzel Christmas Tree

• Edible gold/silver leaves

RECIPE INSTRUCTIONS

» How to make Chocolate Pretzel Christmas Tree

1. melted. Remove and stir well until smooth. Scoop about 100 grams of melted white chocolate into a piping or sandwich bag and set it aside. Add a few drops of green food coloring to the remaining melted white chocolate, mix well, and let it cool for a few minutes. Scoop the melted green chocolate into a piping bag.
2. Line a large baking sheet or a wooden board with parchment or wax paper. Place about 3 pretzel sticks to create each tree trunk on the baking sheet, spacing them a few inches apart. You can make 4 trees on this surface. Gently squeeze the green chocolate onto the middle top part of the pretzel sticks, forming the outline of the tree. Fill it by going back and forth to create a 'tree.' Repeat this process until you have your desired number of Christmas trees. Garnish with melted white chocolate for that snowy look. It's like painting a tasty canvas. Sprinkle multi-colored sprinkles and a few gold leaves on the trees to make them shine. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until the chocolate has set.
3. Remove from the refrigerator and enjoy the chocolate trees as a sweet and salty snack or use them as cake, cupcake or muffin toppers.

RECIPE NOTES

1. The melted chocolate should have a pourable consistency. To make it smooth, runny, and shiny, I have added some coconut oil. The runny chocolate helps you coat the pretzels effortlessly. However, adding coconut oil is optional if you are using candy melts.
2. Feel free to add any of your favorite sprinkles or other toppings. Make sure that you top the trees with sprinkles immediately after shaping. This step ensures that they adhere seamlessly to the chocolate.
3. Edible green food color is used only to make these trees look festive. You can also make trees using white chocolate only.
4. For a decorative touch, I have drizzled the green trees with a bit of white chocolate. But drizzling trees with white chocolate is entirely optional.
