Method
 

Making the Trees
  1. Arrange your pretzel sticks in an arrow formation on a wax paper-lined baking sheet, creating the base of your delightful trees. Make sure they’re close enough to hold together but have space for the chocolate drizzle.
  2. Melt the almond bark or candy melts in the microwave for 30 seconds. Stir well, checking for smoothness to achieve that glossy texture we all love.
  3. Repeat microwaving in 15-second increments until completely melted and smooth, ensuring you stir between each interval. You want it to be nice and pourable!
  4. Spoon the melted chocolate into a ziplock baggie for easy piping. Cut a small corner of the bag with scissors to create a perfect drizzle tool for your trees.
  5. Drizzle the melted almond bark over the arranged pretzel trees, starting at the top and making your way down to the bottom. Use a zigzag motion and don't hesitate to fill in blank spots!
  6. Sprinkle your mini sugar pearls on top for the finishing touch! Choose a variety of colors to make your Chocolate Pretzel Trees extra festive and fun.
  7. Allow the trees to set up on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.
