About this Recipe
The pretzel rods are coated in white chocolate, and then you add red and green sprinkles to give them holiday colors. Once they’ve hardened you can arrange them into pretzel rings to look like a Christmas wreath. The sweet snack is sure to be a show stopper and you can add extra decorations to make them look as bright and festive as you want.
Serving Ideas
- Serving: If serving at a party, you can put a dessert dip like our Pretzel Bites Dipping Sauce in a bowl in the center of the wreath. You could also make Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzels and Chocolate Caramel Pretzels to serve on another platter.
- Delivering: If you want to give Chocolate Pretzel Wreaths away as friend, family, or neighbor gifts, then you’ll have to package them carefully. Arrange the pretzels on a plate and wrap it tightly in plastic wrap to try to keep them from moving. It will be best if you put some kind of round object like a small bowl or cup in the center of the plate. That way the pretzels won’t slide into the center.
How to Store
- Serve: These can be kept out for about 3 weeks. Seal them in an airtight container with layers separated by a sheet of parchment paper. You can rearrange the pretzels into a wreath before serving.
- Store: If you put your leftovers in the refrigerator it will stay good for 2 weeks.
- Freeze: Kept separated by parchment paper in an airtight container, these will last in the freezer for up to a whole year.
Variations
- Peanut Butter: For an extra boost of flavor add a drizzle of peanut butter over each of the pretzel rods.
- Confectionery Coating Candy: In place of the white chocolate confectionery coating candy, you can use different kinds of coating candy melts. Try regular milk chocolate or dark chocolate. Just keep in mind that those colors will be more visible through the green sugar.
- Add-ins: There are so many different flavors and decorations you can add to your pretzel rods. For some coconut goodness, sprinkle coconut flakes over the top. This will also look like snow has fallen on the wreath. You can also add red hots to look like berries on the wreath. Candy cane bits, sparkling sanding sugar, or drizzled melted chocolate would also make delicious additions.
