Chocolate Pretzel Christmas Trees Ingredients
Pretzel Sticks: These form the “trunk” of each tree and add a salty crunch.
Dark or White Chocolate Chips: Use your favorite chocolate, and consider using natural green dye for added color.
Holiday Sprinkles: Adds the final festive touch! These are some of my favorite dye-free Christmas sprinkles: Supernatural Christmas Softies, Supernatural Red Sanding Sugar, Watkins Green Decorating Sugar
Tips For Perfect Chocolate Pretzel Christmas Trees
Piping Bag: Use a piping bag or plastic bag with a small cut to control chocolate drizzles.
Cooling: Set in the fridge to speed up the chocolate hardening process.
Enjoy Immediately: If you are using white chocolate, they melt quickly, so I recommend enjoying them soon after they come out of the fridge.

Chocolate Pretzel Christmas Trees
Ingredients
- pretzel sticks
- chocolate (white, milk, or dark)
- natural sprinkles (see above for my natural recommendations)
Instructions
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. If desired, add green food coloring to white chocolate to resemble tree branches.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place pretzel sticks spaced apart.
- Using a ziploc bag with a small corner cut off or piping bag, drizzle chocolate back and forth over each pretzel in a triangle shape to mimic a tree.
- While the chocolate is still warm, add sprinkles as “ornaments” and a star-shaped sprinkle on top if desired.
- Allow the trees to set on the baking sheet until the chocolate hardens. Enjoy!
