Pretzel Wreaths

Make festive pretzel wreaths by dipping pretzels in green candy melts, adding sprinkles, and topping with a candy bow. A fun and easy holiday treat!

Ingredients
  

  • Mini pretzel twists (12 for each wreath)
  • Green candy melts (or green melting chocolate)
  • Red Twizzlers Pull-Apart (for the bows)Fun festive sprinkles (for the ornaments)Parchment paper or a silicone baking matA microwave-safe bowl for melting the candy melts 
  • Fun festive sprinkles (for the ornaments)
  • Parchment paper or a silicone baking mat
  • A microwave-safe bowl for melting the candy melts 

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Melt the Green Candy MeltsStart by melting your green candy melts according to the package instructions. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Dip the PretzelsOnce the candy melts are fully melted, it’s time to dip the pretzels! Hold each mini pretzel by the edges and dip it into the green candy melts, making sure it’s coated evenly. Gently shake off any excess, then begin placing the pretzels on a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat, forming a circle shape with 6 pretzels for the first layer. Be sure the pretzels are touching so they form a solid circle shape.
  3. Step 3: Add the Second LayerRepeat the dipping process with another 6 pretzels, and arrange them on top of the first layer, slightly overlapping to create depth and texture. Press down lightly to ensure the pretzels stick together.
  4. Step 4: Decorate with Festive SprinklesSprinkle the candy-coated pretzels with fun, colorful sprinkles to represent ornaments. You can use red, gold, or green sprinkles, or go all out with Christmas-themed shapes like stars, trees, or snowflakes.
  5. Step 5: Make a Twizzlers BowTake a red Twizzlers Pull-Apart and gently separate the strands. Twist and shape the strands into a bow shape, then place the bow on the wreath to finish it off. 
  6. Step 6: Let the Wreaths SetAllow the pretzel wreaths to cool and harden completely at room temperature. This will ensure the candy coating stays firm and the wreaths hold their shape.
