Ingredients
10 pretzel rods
2 cups chocolate chips or melting chocolate
1/2 cup white chocolate
1 teaspoon green food coloring
1/4 cup sprinkles or candies
1/4 cup coconut flakes
Instructions
1. Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl in 20 to 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
2. Place the pretzel rods on a parchment lined baking sheet.
3. Spoon or pipe the melted chocolate over each pretzel in a zigzag pattern to create a tree shape.
4. Mix green food coloring into melted white chocolate if using, then drizzle over the trees.
5. Add sprinkles, candies, or coconut flakes while the chocolate is still soft.
6. Let the chocolate set completely at room temperature or refrigerate until firm.
Notes
Use high quality chocolate for a smoother finish and better taste.
Work quickly when decorating so the toppings stick before the chocolate hardens.
Store in a cool place to prevent melting, especially in warmer climates.
