Pretzel Christmas Wreaths with Chocolate

These Christmas wreath pretzels are so simple to make and are such cute Christmas snacks. They’re the perfect Christmas treats when you want something salty-sweet. 

I like these Christmas pretzels because they’re a quick prep-ahead Christmas party food or make cute additions on Christmas cookie trays. They’d also make for cute homemade Christmas gifts.

They’re only a few steps and 3 ingredients so they couldn’t be easier. 

Let’s make some candy cane pretzels!

Ingredients

• Chocolate or cocoa candy melts
• Bag of pretzels (classic pretzel knot shape)
• Christmas Sprinkles
• Optional: Red bow sprinkle

How to make pretzel wreaths

1. Line baking sheet with parchment paper

2. Arrange pretzels in circles with five pretzels in each group.

3. Melt chocolate candy melts according to package instructions. If using chocolate be careful to heat gentle to not seize the chocolate. I use candy melts and microwave them in 30 second intervals at 50% power, stirring between heating.

4. Drizzle a generous amount of chocolate in a circle on the inside of the pretzels

5. Quickly press on top 5 more pretzels so they are off-set from the first ring of pretzels

6. Add another drizzle of chocolate on top of the second layer of pretzels. Quickly sprinkle with Christmas sprinkles and add the bow sprinkle if using. Repeat with the remaining wreaths

7. Allow to fully cool and set before serving. You can pop them in the fridge for 10 minutes to speed up the setting process.
