Set the Stage

Before you begin, make sure to clear a spacious and child-friendly workspace. Lay out all the ingredients and utensils, and don't forget to wash those little hands! Place the non-stick baking sheet over your work area and let's get started! 

Arrange Your Pretzels

Before adding your special touches, make a practice wreath by arranging your pretzels in two overlaying circles. The more pretzels you add, the larger your circle, so be careful of the size you're going for. 7-8 pretzels per circle will make them snack-sized.

Melt the White Chocolate

Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth and melted. Be cautious not to overheat, as white chocolate can be sensitive.

Get Creative with Colors

Divide the melted white chocolate into two or three separate bowls. Add a few drops of green food coloring to one bowl, red to another, leaving the last white to cover your Christmas classic colors. Looking to celebrate Hanukkah or Kwanzaa as well? Add in blue, yellow, or black food coloring to the mix for an inclusive treat everyone can enjoy. Stir well until you achieve vibrant, festive colors.

Dip, Drizzle, & Decorate

Take each pretzel twist and dip it into the colored chocolate, ensuring the bottom half is fully coated. Lay the coated pretzels back in their prearranged shape When using more than one color, alternate between them for each pretzel to create a visually appealing pattern. Once complete, drizzle more chocolate over the overlapping edges of the pretzels to help them stick together.

Add Some Sparkle

While the chocolate is still wet, let your little ones sprinkle holiday-themed decorations over the pretzels. This is where the real creativity comes in – let them express themselves with colorful sprinkles and edible glitter. Let loose and half fun!

Let It Set

Allow the pretzel wreath to set in the refrigerator for about 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens. This is the perfect time for a quick clean up in time for a holiday-themed craft or story to keep the excitement going and make the wait seem shorter!

Share and Enjoy!

Once the pretzel wreath is fully set, carefully remove it from the tray and place it on a festive plate. Encourage your kids to proudly display their creation at your holiday gatherings or share it with neighbors and friends. Don't forget to snap a photo for the family album!
