Step-by-Step Instructions for Chocolate Pretzel Trees
  1. Begin by gathering all your ingredients and measuring out 1 cup of chocolate melts or chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Place the bowl with chocolate melts in the microwave and heat for 30 seconds on high. Stir the chocolate thoroughly after each interval until it’s melted and smooth, typically taking about 1-2 minutes total.
  3. Once your chocolate is melted, dip each pretzel stick into the chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. Allow the chocolate-covered pretzel sticks to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes until they harden.
  5. Using the green icing tube, carefully pipe tree shapes onto the hardened chocolate-coated pretzel sticks.
  6. Decorate your tree shapes with mini chocolate candies and sprinkles, resembling ornaments and lights on a Christmas tree.
  7. After decorating, let your Chocolate Pretzel Trees set completely.
  8. Once fully set, arrange your beautiful Chocolate Pretzel Trees on a platter or offer them individually to your guests.
