The holidays are the perfect time of year to show off your creative skills - especially if you like spending time in the kitchen baking and making treats to share with friends, family, and co-workers.
Cookies, cupcakes, pies, and sweets make great gifts and always are always welcome in the office breakroom.  If you have children, making these treats together as a family activity can be the start of an annual holiday tradition.
One easy to make treat that’s fun for the whole family to make is Christmas Tree Pretzels. Like snowflakes, each one is unique and how you decorate each tree is up to you!

Let’s dig into the recipe that can be found here at KitchenFunWithMy3Sons.com:

• - 1 bag of mini pretzel sticks that you can pick up at any grocery store
• - 1 bag of candy melts that we sell in red, green, brown and white
• - 3-5 tbsp coconut oil
• - 1 container of Christmas sprinkles or any sprinkle of your choice including these rainbow sprinkles we sell in bulk if you want to make a lot of these to give away as gifts
• - 1 cookie sheet lined with parchment paper
• - 1 squeeze bottle with a number 2 tip Sugarbelle line from Michaels

Once you gather all your ingredients, it’s time to have fun!

• - Using a double boiler, melt the candy melts and coconut and mix until smooth
• - Carefully scoop the melted candy melt into the decorating bottle
• - Place about 10 pretzel sticks onto the parchment paper
• - Using the squeeze bottle, pipe the details of a Christmas tree onto the pretzel
• - Sprinkle some Christmas sprinkles onto the chocolate
• - Allow to harden for 2 hours before carefully removing from parchment paper and enjoying!

The photos our friends at Kitchen Fun with My 3 Sons posted show just how neat these treats are, but don’t worry if yours don’t look as perfect!  There’s nothing wrong with a Charlie Brown Christmas Tree the first time around! Plus, the best part about these treats is that you can make each one unique right down to the color since we have different colors of candy melts you can use.
