Chocolate Pretzel Christmas Trees
Use these chocolate trees on cakes, cupcakes, ice cream...heck, you can even put them on your pancakes!! Merry Christmas y'all!!
Ingredients
- 2 cups small pretzel rods
- 1 cup green chocolate melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- sprinkles for decoration
Instructions
- Place pretzel rods on a piece of parchment, spread 2-inches apart.
- Place chocolate melts and coconut oil in a small bowl and microwave for 45 seconds, then stir and microwave for an additional 30 seconds until chocolate is smooth (all microwaves vary, so your time may be different).
- Place a piping bag with a thin tip (or you can use a plastic Ziploc bag) in a glass and fold over the edge (this is how you can fill your piping bag with one hand!); pour melted chocolate in the bag and then gather edges and close the top (if you are using a Ziploc bag, you can snip the bottom corner now).
- Very carefully, pipe the chocolate back and forth across the pretzel sticks, one at a time, starting wide at the bottom and getting thinner as you reach the top (so it resembles a Christmas tree).
- Scatter Christmas sprinkles on tree and wait to harden.
- Use to decorate the top of a cake by pressing the pretzel bottoms into the top of a frosted cake!
