What You’ll Need:

  • Ingredients:

    • 7 oz container white chocolate melting wafers
    • 1 tsp olive oil
    • 3 tbsp red, green, and white nonpareils
  • Tools:
    • Measuring spoons
    • Piping bag
    • Scissors
    • Parchment paper

How to Make White Chocolate Mini Pretzel Trees

Step 1: Prep Your Workspace
Line baking sheets or your countertop with parchment paper. Arrange the pretzel sticks on the paper, leaving 3-4 inches of space between each stick.

Step 2: Melt the Chocolate
Add olive oil to the melting wafers and pour them into a piping bag. Microwave the bag for 30 seconds, then remove and gently massage to melt the chocolate. Repeat until the chocolate is smooth.

Step 3: Create the Trees
Snip the very tip of the piping bag with scissors. Pipe the melted chocolate over the pretzel sticks in a zigzag motion, starting thin at the top and widening as you go down to create a tree shape. Leave a small section of the pretzel at the bottom as the “tree trunk.”

Step 4: Decorate
Immediately sprinkle red, green, and white nonpareils over the chocolate before it sets.

Step 5: Let Them Set
Allow the chocolate to harden for about 20 minutes. Once set, carefully remove the trees from the parchment paper and enjoy!

Tips for Success:

  • Team Effort: This is a great project for two people—one to pipe the chocolate and the other to sprinkle the decorations.
  • Kid-Friendly Fun: Let the kids take over sprinkling duties for a fun family activity!
  • Storage: Keep your trees fresh by storing them in an airtight container.

These White Chocolate Mini Pretzel Trees are not only festive but also versatile. Serve them at your next holiday party, gift them in a cute tin for neighbors, or snack on them while decorating your home. Their sweet-and-salty flavor combo makes them a crowd favorite, and their adorable design is sure to bring smiles all around.
