Making the Trees
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- 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!
- 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.
- Allow the trees to set up on the baking sheet for about 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm to the touch.

Notes
Optional: Add a sprinkle of edible glitter for a magical touch. Ensure your pretzel sticks are tightly arranged in the intended shape to provide a solid base before adding the chocolate.
