Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 120 mini pretzels
- 8 oz. green melting chocolate wafers (Wilton)
- Holiday sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the pretzels from sticking and to facilitate easy cleanup.
- Melt Chocolate: Melt the green melting chocolate wafers according to the package instructions, either in the microwave in short intervals stirring frequently or using a double boiler, until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip and Arrange First Layer: Dip 5 mini pretzels halfway into the melted green chocolate, ensuring they are well coated but not dripping excessively. Arrange these on the prepared baking sheet in a circular wreath shape, ensuring they are close but not touching.
- Dip and Arrange Second Layer: Dip another 5 mini pretzels halfway in green chocolate and place them on top of the first layer of pretzels to create a second row. Stagger the placement so that the second layer covers the gaps between pretzels in the bottom layer, forming a fuller wreath look.
- Add Sprinkles and Set: Immediately sprinkle holiday sprinkles over the dipped pretzels before the chocolate sets to allow the sprinkles to stick. Let the wreaths set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate hardens and holds the pretzels together.
- Repeat: Continue dipping and assembling until all pretzels are used, creating approximately 12 wreaths.

- Chocolate pretzel wreaths are a perfect balance of sweet and salty for holiday celebrations.
