- Assorted holiday sprinkles e.g., stars, Christmas tree shapes, red and green pearls
- Red candy balls – ½ cup to represent berries
- Edible glitter optional for a festive finish
- Pretzel sticks – 10-12 to form the wreath base
Instructions
- Prepare the Wreath Base: Arrange the mini pretzels in a circular shape on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Use pretzel sticks for added support, weaving them through the pretzels.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate and green candy melts separately in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between until smooth.
- Assemble and Decorate: Drizzle the white chocolate over the wreath base, followed by the green candy melts. Decorate with holiday sprinkles, red candy balls, and edible glitter while the chocolate is still warm.
- Set the Wreath: Let the wreath sit at room temperature for 10 minutes (or refrigerate for 5 minutes) until the chocolate sets.
- Serve or Gift: Once set, your pretzel wreaths are ready to serve or wrap as holiday gifts.
