Description

These No-Bake Chocolate Christmas Trees are adorable, festive, and super easy — perfect as holiday treats, gifts, or fun decor for party dessert tables. They combine rich melted chocolate with simple sticks or pretzels, decorated like mini evergreen trees for a playful crunchy-sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

~100–150 g dark or milk chocolate (or chocolate chips), melted
8–16 pretzel sticks, biscuit sticks, or thin cookie sticks (for trunks)
Sprinkles, mini candies, edible glitter or colored sugar (for decoration)
Optional: a small candy or chocolate “star” for the top

Instructions

1. Prepare the workspace
  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Arrange the pretzel/cookie sticks spaced out.

1. Melt the chocolate
  Place the chocolate in a heat-proof bowl. Melt gently (microwave in 20–30 s intervals, stirring between each, or use a double boiler) until smooth and glossy.

1. Pipe or drip the chocolate “tree” on each stick
  Transfer melted chocolate into a piping bag (or a small freezer/plastic bag with a tiny corner cut off).
  Starting a little above the bottom of the stick (to leave some bare area for the trunk), pipe a zig-zag or back-and-forth pattern down the stick — making it wider near the bottom, narrower near the top, to resemble a tree shape.

1. Add decorations
  While the chocolate is still wet, immediately sprinkle on edible decorations — sprinkles, mini candies, edible glitter, colored sugar, etc. Optionally place a small candy or chocolate star at the top of each tree to resemble a tree topper.

1. Let set
  Allow the chocolate to harden completely. You can leave at room temperature or speed up by placing in the fridge for ~20–30 minutes.

1. Serve or store
  Once solid, peel the trees gently off the parchment. Store in an airtight container — they stay crisp and delicious for several days.

Notes

Use a small piping bag (or a plastic bag with a tiny tip) to control the chocolate flow precisely.
Work in small batches if decorating — chocolate can harden quickly.
Get creative with decorations: colored sugar, edible glitter, festive sprinkles, crushed nuts, or tiny candy “ornaments.”
If the chocolate thickens while you pipe, gently re-warm (low power / double boiler) before continuing for smooth lines.
