FULL SIZE OR MINI DESSERTS?
You may know that we love mini desserts, but let’s be honest, we love all desserts no matter the size. Today, we are making these full size holiday trees using pretzel rods. You can, however, make them a mini size with pretzel sticks and a creating a small tree top with less chocolate. It’s your choice.
WHITE CHOCOLATE OR DARK CHOCOLATE?
Another part of the customization ability of this treat is what type of chocolate you use. We chose white chocolate to resemble a snow covered tree that went perfect with the blue snowflake sprinkles we found at Walmart. But you can easily use a dark chocolate and use any color sprinkles you’d prefer. It’s up to you – which chocolate you like better or what look you are going for.
