Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups mini pretzels: These serve as the base of your wreath, providing a satisfying crunch and a perfect shape for decorating.
- 1 cup white chocolate chips: The creamy sweetness of white chocolate contrasts beautifully with the salty pretzels.
- 1/2 cup candy sprinkles (red and green): These add a festive flair, making your wreaths visually appealing and perfect for the holiday season.
- 1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional): Nuts like almonds, pecans, or walnuts can provide a delightful crunch and enhance the flavor profile.
- Edible glitter (optional for decoration): A sprinkle of edible glitter can elevate your wreaths, adding a magical touch that will impress your guests.
Instructions
- Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and fully melted. Be careful not to overheat, as chocolate can seize up if it gets too hot.
- Coat Pretzels: Dip each mini pretzel into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coat. Use a fork to lift them out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before proceeding to the next step. This will help achieve a clean finish and prevent any pooling of chocolate.
- Sprinkle & Decorate: Place the coated pretzels on a sheet of parchment paper. While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle with red and green candy sprinkles. For an extra crunch, add chopped nuts if desired. This is where you can really get creative—consider using different shapes or sizes of sprinkles for added texture.
- Shape into Wreaths: Arrange the decorated pretzels into a circular wreath shape on the parchment paper, gently pressing them together to form a cohesive wreath. You can create smaller wreaths for individual servings or a larger one to share.
- Set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or speed up the process by placing the wreaths in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes. Once the chocolate is set, the wreaths will hold their shape beautifully.
- Serve: Once set, display your Christmas Pretzel Wreaths on a festive plate and enjoy the colorful, tasty creation! They can be served as a centerpiece on your dessert table or as a fun snack during holiday gatherings.
