Melt the dark green candy melts according to package instructions. (You can either melt over a double boiler or in the microwave. I prefer the microwave using a glass bowl. Be careful not to overheat, or the candy melts will become chalky and difficult to use. If this happens, add a small amount of coconut oil, and mix well.)
Drape a pastry bag over your hand, fill with the melted candy, and cut the tip of the bag with kitchen shears.
Place a piece of wax or parchment paper over a flat plate or tray. Try different shapes and designs to make different types of tree shapes.
Place the pretzel sticks on the tray, and drizzle the candy melts back and forth, making the melted candy wider as you go in the shape of a Christmas tree. Immediately add some red and clear sugar gems and some white snowflake sprinkles.
The green candy melts will harden rather quickly, so make sure you get your decorations on before the candy hardens.
Try different shapes and designs to make different types of tree shapes.
Repeat steps 1 and 2 with the bright green candy melts for the remaining pretzel sticks.
Once all your candied trees are decorated, place them in the refrigerator to set for approximately 5 minutes.
Once set, your trees are ready to be enjoyed.

- You can use other colors of candy melts for this recipe if you like. White, grey, and brown are all great colors to make these Pretzel Christmas Trees with.
- If you would like the trees taller, simply add pretzel sticks until the desired height is achieved. Then, proceed with adding the melting candy to your trees.
- If you would like to make these Pretzel Christmas Trees ahead of time, they can be stored for up to three weeks, perfect for prepping for a holiday party or as part of a Christmas gift.
