Ingredients
  

For the Chocolate Coating
  • 200 grams dark chocolate The rich flavor brings a luxurious touch to your Christmas Chocolate Trees.
  • 50 grams white chocolate Use this for drizzling on top, adding a beautiful contrast to the dark chocolate.
For Decoration
  • 1/4 cup mini colorful sprinkles These will spark joy and make your trees festive and eye-catching!
  • 8 pieces pretzel sticks The crunchy base that supports your deliciously decorated chocolate trees.

Equipment

  • Heatproof bowl
  • baking sheet
  • Piping Bag

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Melt the chocolate: Begin by melting the dark chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water or in the microwave. Stir until it’s smooth and glossy, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Dip the pretzels: Carefully dip each pretzel stick into the melted dark chocolate, ensuring it's fully coated. Let any excess chocolate drip off gently before moving to the next step.
  3. Set on a baking sheet: Place the chocolate-coated pretzel sticks on a lined baking sheet. This prevents sticking and ensures easy cleanup later.
  4. Drizzle with white chocolate: Melt the white chocolate and drizzle it over the dark chocolate-covered pretzels with a spoon or a piping bag to create a lovely marbled effect.
  5. Sprinkle with joy: While the chocolate is still wet, generously sprinkle mini colorful sprinkles over the pretzel sticks. This is where the magic truly happens, as they come to life!
  6. Cool and harden: Allow the pretzel sticks to cool and harden completely at room temperature, which typically takes about 30 minutes. You can speed up this process by placing them in the fridge.
