Ingredients
- Mini pretzel twists
- Green candy melts
- Holiday sprinkles
Directions
Step 1: Melt green candy melts in the microwave
In the microwave, melt green candy melts in 30 second increments. Stir until the melts are a smooth consistency.
Step 2: Dip pretzels in candy melts and layer
Next, dip half of each pretzel in the green candy melts. From there, arrange the pretzels in a circle on foil or parchment paper in a circle. Add a second layer on top of the first to shape the pretzels like a wreath.
Step 3: Add sprinkles
Last but not least, decorate each pretzel wreath with holiday sprinkles of your choosing. That’s it! Let dry until the pretzels are set and your treat is holiday-ready.
Pretzel Wreath Variations
Christmas pretzel wreaths can be customized to suit your taste and creativity. Here’s how to go all out:
Use different pretzel sizes
You can use mini pretzels, regular pretzel twists or even pretzel rods for a shareable chocolate-dipped pretzel wreath.
Add a bow with pull-apart licorice
This is an upgrade that Buddy the Elf would love. It adds double the holiday pizazz!
Pull apart Pull ‘N’ Peel Twizzlers to create thin strands. Then, tie each individual strand into the shape of a bow and use a dab of melted chocolate to attach the bow to the wreath.
Decorate with M&M’s as ornaments
If you have a sweet tooth, get ready to love this dessert even more. You can add M&M’s (preferably holiday M&M’s) or gum drops to look like ornaments. This version of the dessert is bound to unwrap all kinds of compliments!
