These cute mini 3-ingredient CHOCOLATE CHRISTMAS TREES with pretzels are easy, fun treat to make and give for the holidays. Step-by-step instructions are included.

 

how to make mini chocolate Christmas trees

you will need:*

green candy melts**
disposable decorating bags
scissors
baking tray
wax paper
pretzel sticks
sprinkles

*Find candy melts, disposable decorating bags and sprinkles in the craft store. For sprinkles, I used little rainbow non-pareils. You can also use red hots, little snowflakes, stars, whatever you want.

**NOTE: If you’d like to use WHITE CHOCOLATE in place of the green candy melts, melt white chocolate in a bowl (not directly in the decorating bag) and add oil-based green candy color to tint the chocolate. When it’s cool enough to handle, fill the decorating bag and follow the instructions below.

Line a baking tray with wax paper and set aside. Break a bunch of the pretzels in half and set aside. Place about 1/2 cup of candy melts in a disposable decorating bag. Microwave on 70 percent power for 90 seconds. Massage the bag and microwave at 15 second intervals until fully melted.

Snip 1/4-inch from the tip of the bag. Pipe a dot of candy on the tray and place a pretzel half on top to secure. Then, pipe back and forth to make your trees. Don’t worry about being precise, just move quick and messily. That’s what I did. Immediately sprinkle some sprinkles on top (again, I was not precise, I just shook some over the tree). Work with one tree at a time until the tray is filled. Use a new disposable decorating bag each time you heat candy melts. Each bag will make about 10 mini trees.
