They’re simple, fun to decorate, and add a playful holiday touch to any gathering.

Helpful Tips

Use ring-shaped pretzels. Mini pretzel rings or twists work best for building a wreath shape.
Candy melts for color. Green candy melts or white chocolate tinted with food coloring give you that classic wreath look.
Decorate before they set. Add sprinkles, mini M&Ms, or candy bows right after dipping so they stick.

Equipment

1 Red Ribbon optional

Ingredients

1 bag pretzels
1 bag green chocolate wafers
½ cup Christmas sprinkles

Instructions

Spread the pretzels out in a circle, with the loops facing outward, in a double layer.
Melt the chocolate wafers in a bowl in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring in between, until mostly melted, then stir continuously until fully melted (so as not to burn the chocolate).
Pour the melted chocolate over the inside half of the pretzels, all the way around in one continuous pour. Immediately sprinkle on the Christmas sprinkles, so they stick to the chocolate.
Add a ribbon or bow to the top of the “wreath”.
