Easy to make, these cute little decorations only use sprinkles, chocolate and pretzels. Use them on cookie trays, for cupcakes, cakes or just as cute salty and sweet snacks.
Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate until smooth. Alternately, use the microwave, stirring at 30 second intervals until smooth. Do not overheat. Allow the chocolate to cool a bit before transferring it to a piping bag or plastic storage bag.
Lay a piece of parchment paper on a rimmed baking sheet and line up pretzels with enough room between to make the trees.
Snip a small hole in the piping bag or plastic bag corner, moving back and forth, create trees with a wide base and tapered top.
While tacky, decorate with desired sprinkles.
Allow to set at room temperature (1-2 hours) or chill (15 minutes).
Gently peel the tree off of the parchment and enjoy or use as decorations.

Notes
Regular baking chocolate or chocolate can be used, but add 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil for every 2 ounces of chocolate.
