Christmas Pretzel Wreaths

These Christmas Pretzel Wreaths are an easy, no-bake holiday treat made with mini pretzels dipped in green candy melts and topped with crushed candy canes. The pretzels are arranged in layers to form a festive wreath shape, then finished with a red Twizzler Pull ‘n’ Peel bow while the chocolate is still soft. Sweet, salty, and perfectly crunchy, these edible wreaths make adorable gifts, party treats, or a fun family holiday project.

Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 2-3 cups Mini pretzels
  • 1 cup Green candy melts
  • ½ cup Crushed candy canes
  • Twizzler Pull n' Peel candy for bows
  • Extra sprinkles for decorating optional

Equipment

  • Microwave-safe bowl or double broiler
  • Baking sheet lined with parchment paper
  • Spoon or small spatula

Method
 

  1. Melt the candy coating
    Place the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
    Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted. Alternatively, melt over a double boiler on the stove.
  2. Dip the pretzels
    Dip each mini pretzel halfway into the melted green chocolate, letting the excess drip off.
    Lay the dipped pretzels on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Assemble the wreaths
    Arrange the dipped pretzels in a circle on the parchment paper to form the base layer of your wreath.
    Once the first layer is complete, add a second layer on top, offsetting slightly so the pretzels interlock and create a fuller wreath.
  4. Add toppings
    Immediately sprinkle crushed candy canes over the chocolate while it’s still wet.
    Optional: add extra sprinkles for a festive touch.
  5. Attach the bow
    Before the chocolate sets, pull off a strip of Twizzler Pull ‘n’ Peel candy and tie it into a bow.
    Press the bow gently onto the wreath so it sticks as the chocolate hardens.
  6. Chill to set
    Place the wreaths in the fridge for 15–20 minutes until the chocolate is firm.
  7. Serve or gift
    Once fully set, your wreaths are ready to display, gift, or enjoy as a festive holiday treat!
