Ingredients used for Pretzel Wreaths

• Mini Pretzels Twists (10 per wreath): The circular shape sets the stage for your edible wreaths.
• White or Chocolate Almond Bark: The sweet canvas for your creative touch. Substitute White Chocolate chips, Milk Chocolate or Semi Sweet Chocolate chips.
• Christmas Sprinkles: Because everything's merrier with a sprinkle of holiday joy!
• M&M’s Candies: Add pops of color for that extra festive flair. Using Red m&m 's or Green M&M's

How to make Pretzel Wreath No-Bake Treats

1. Lay the Foundation:Start by laying out your mini pretzel twists on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or wax paper. This is where the wreath magic begins!
2. Melt Chocolate:In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your choice of white or chocolate almond bark. This will serve as the first layer of your wreaths. 
3. Dip and Arrange:Dip the bottoms of mini twist pretzels into the melted almond bark, ensuring they're coated evenly. Place the dip pretzels on the parchment paper in a circular shape to form the base layer of your wreaths.  You will use 5 mini pretzel twists.  But larger wreaths can be made with 7 pretzel twists or even 9 pretzel twists.  Additional pretzels can be used to make larger wreaths.
4. Dip 2nd Layer:Place a second layer of pretzel twists on top of the first by dipping the bottom of the pretzel into the melted chocolate and placing on top of the first layer off-set from the first.
5. Decorate with Christmas Spirit:While the almond bark is still gooey, sprinkle on your Christmas sprinkles. Adding Holiday M&M candies, Red Hots, or even red licorice bows for added fun.
6. Set and Harden:Allow your pretzel wreaths to sit until the almond bark hardens, leaving you with a delightful mix of textures – crunchy pretzels and creamy chocolate.
7. Golden Brown Accents:If you're feeling extra creative, drizzle melted white or milk chocolate over the wreaths for a golden-brown touch.

How to Melt Chocolate (Almond Bark or Candy Melts)

Melting almond bark or chocolate melts in the microwave is quick and easy. Follow these simple steps for a smooth and velvety result!

1. Break or Chop: Start by breaking the almond bark or chopping the chocolate melts into small, uniform pieces or shavings. This ensures even melting.
2. Microwave-Safe Bowl: Place the chocolate pieces in a microwave-safe bowl. 
3. Microwave in 30 second Intervals: Heat the chocolate in the microwave at 50% power to avoid overheating. Microwave for 30 seconds at a time, stirring well after each interval. Continue until the chocolate is mostly melted.
4. Reduce Time as Needed: As the chocolate melts further, reduce the microwave time to 15-second intervals.  This helps to prevent overheating the chocolate and allows the residual heat to melt the smaller bits of chocolate.
5. Final Stir: Once the chocolate is almost entirely melted, stir vigorously to melt the remaining bits. 

Remember, patience is key to achieving perfectly melted chocolate. Follow these steps, and you'll have a velvety chocolate or almond bark ready to elevate your sweet creations!
