Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 120 mini pretzels
- 8 oz. green melting chocolate wafers (Wilton)
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Melt the chocolate: Melt the green melting chocolate wafers according to the package instructions, either in the microwave or using a double boiler, ensuring the chocolate is smooth and free from lumps.
- Form the first wreath layer: Dip 5 mini pretzels halfway into the melted green chocolate and arrange them on the parchment-lined baking sheet in a circular wreath shape, forming the base layer.
- Create the second wreath layer: Dip another 5 pretzels halfway in the green chocolate and place them on top of the first layer, staggering them so they cover the gaps between pretzels below, creating a full, two-row wreath structure.
- Add sprinkles and set: Sprinkle holiday-themed sprinkles over the chocolate-dipped pretzels while the chocolate is still wet. Allow the wreaths to set and harden completely at room temperature, ensuring the chocolate firms up to hold the shape.
Notes
- Chocolate pretzel wreaths are quick and easy to make, providing a perfect balance of sweet and salty flavors for holiday celebrations.
- Use green melting chocolate for a festive look, but you can customize colors for different occasions.
- Holiday sprinkles add a fun and decorative touch, but feel free to substitute with nuts or other toppings if preferred.
- Ensure the pretzels are fully set before handling to avoid breaking the wreath shape.
