Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 30 pieces mini pretzel twists
- 1 cup white or dark chocolate melting wafers
- 2 drops green food coloring (gel-based, if using white chocolate)
- 3 tablespoons red round sprinkles (for holly berries)
- 2 tablespoons holiday sprinkles (optional for decoration)
- 1 sheet parchment paper
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with a sheet of parchment paper.
Place the chocolate melting wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until fully melted and smooth.
If using white chocolate, add the green food coloring to create a festive wreath color. Stir until evenly combined.
Dip each mini pretzel twist into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Use a fork to lift the pretzel out of the chocolate and gently tap it against the edge of the bowl to remove excess chocolate.
Arrange three chocolate-dipped pretzels in a circular shape on the prepared parchment paper. Slightly overlap the edges to form a wreath, and press gently to ensure they stick together.
While the chocolate is still wet, place a few red round sprinkles on one side of the pretzel wreath to mimic holly berries. Add additional holiday sprinkles if desired for extra decoration.
Repeat the process with the remaining pretzels and chocolate until all the wreaths are assembled.
Let the pretzel wreaths sit at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, until the chocolate has fully set.
Once the chocolate is firm, carefully remove the wreaths from the parchment paper and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
