Ingredients For Christmas Tree Pretzels

How To Make White Chocolate Christmas Tree Pretzels
Step One – Line baking sheets (or the counter/table) with parchment paper.
Step Two – Arrange pretzel sticks on the parchment paper, about 3-4 inches apart.
Step Three – Add olive oil to the melting wafers, then dump into a piping bag. Heat in the microwave for 30 seconds. Remove and massage with your hands. Repeat this process until the chocolate is fully melted.
Step Four – Use scissors to snip off the very end of the piping bag.
Step Five – In a back and forth motion, pipe chocolate over the pretzel sticks, starting out thin on top, then gradually increasing the wideness as you go down, stopping before you hit the other end of the pretzel so that you have the “tree trunk”.
Step Six – Immediately add sprinkles.
Step Seven – Allow chocolate to set for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
