Christmas tree pretzel rods couldn't be easier! Drizzle green candy over pretzels to make these cute and delicious Christmas trees. This is a great candy for kids to help with—let them get creative with the decorative toppings like sprinkles, nuts, and coconut.
Ingredients
-
8 ounces green candy coating
-
6 large pretzel rods
-
Assorted sprinkles, optional
Steps to Make It
-
Gather the ingredients.
-
Place the green candy coating in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after every 30 seconds to prevent overheating.
-
Arrange the pretzel rods on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper or waxed paper.
-
Transfer the melted coating to a large plastic bag. Snip a hole in the corner of the bag.
-
Drizzle the coating over a pretzel rod in a tree shape: start about halfway up a rod, and make the wide base of the tree, gradually narrowing as you reach the top until it comes to a peak at the top of the pretzel.
-
While the coating is still wet, sprinkle it with assorted sprinkles to represent Christmas lights. If desired, you can place a gold candy or star-shaped sprinkle on top. Repeat until all of the pretzels have been turned into trees.
-
Refrigerate the tray briefly to set the coating.
-
Serve and enjoy!
Tip
- Store Christmas Tree Pretzel Rods in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a month.
