How to Make Christmas Wreath Pretzels

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Assembly Time: 20 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes
Servings: 20

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or foil and set aside.
Open your package of Twizzlers Pull & Peel and Pull 3 to 4 groups apart so you have 20 individual strings. (these are for the wreath bows later). Set aside
Melt Green candy wafers in the microwave according to the package instructions.
You will need 5 Mini Pretzels per wreath. Dip them one at a time halfway into the melted candy and place them on the parchment paper, forming a ring. Make sure each side touches as you place them so when the chocolate cools the wreaths will stay together.
Before the candy hardens, add sprinkles and make one small bow with the Pull & Peel strings and place on the wreath. (You may have to cut the ends of each bow if the strings are too long)
Make sure to work quickly and only create one wreath at a time, as they tend to harden quickly.
Place each baking sheet filled with pretzel wreaths into the refrigerator for 10 minutes to fully harden.

These yummy pretzel treats are best enjoyed fresh!

Can This Be Made Ahead of Time?

Although it won’t save you much time you can try it if it is helpful. Follow the recipe up to the point of refrigerating the baking sheets. Instead of refrigerating, cover the wreaths with plastic wrap and store them in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. Just before serving, bring the wreaths back to room temperature and add the finishing touches with sprinkles and bows.

Substitutions & Variations:

Candy Melts: Experiment with different colors to match your theme or use white chocolate for a classic look.
Sprinkles: Try various types of sprinkles, from classic holiday shapes to colorful nonpareils for a playful twist.
Pull & Peel Bows: If Twizzlers aren’t your preference, consider using licorice laces or fondant bows for a different texture and flavor.

Helpful Cooking Notes:

Work Efficiently: The candy coating can harden quickly, so have your sprinkles and Twizzlers bows ready before you start dipping the pretzels.
Precision Matters: Ensure the pretzels touch each other while forming the wreaths. This connection is crucial for the wreaths to hold their shape as the candy coating cools.
Temperature Control: Let the wreaths fully harden in the refrigerator for the recommended 10 minutes. This ensures they maintain their structural integrity and are easy to handle.
