Ingredients
Scale
- 3 cups mini pretzel twists
- 12 oz (340 g) pink candy melts
- ½ teaspoon strawberry candy flavoring (oil-based)
- ¼ cup pink and white sugar sprinkles
- ¼ cup edible white sugar pearls
- 12 edible gold star decorations
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother coating)
- 2 tablespoons melted white chocolate (optional)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Arrange mini pretzel twists into 12 Christmas tree shapes, creating wider rows at the bottom and gradually narrowing toward the top.
- Place pink candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth. Add the strawberry candy flavoring and coconut oil if needed.
- Use small amounts of melted pink coating to connect the overlapping pretzels. Arrange them into layered Christmas tree shapes on the prepared baking sheet.
- Transfer the remaining melted pink coating into a piping bag. Drizzle thick zigzag lines across each pretzel tree to create beautiful pink Christmas garlands.
- While the coating is still soft, sprinkle pink sugar decorations and edible white pearls over each tree. Attach one edible gold star to the top using a small dab of melted coating.
- Refrigerate the trees for 15–20 minutes, or until the coating is completely hardened.
- Carefully remove the pretzel trees from the parchment paper and arrange them on a festive white serving platter.
Notes
- For a smoother coating, use coconut oil in the melted pink candy melts.
- For extra decoration, drizzle melted white chocolate on top of the pretzel trees.
- These treats can be stored in an airtight container for a few days.
