Just like the star atop a tree, this recipe puts a magical finishing touch on holiday desserts with edible tree cake toppers. Create an entire enchanted forest for the perfect festive finish to your holiday treats.
Step 1: Melt Candy

Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and place pretzels on the paper.
Step 3: Drizzle
Drizzle melted candy on pretzels starting 1 inch from the bottom to make tree shapes.
Step 4: Get Creative
Get creative and fun—these should look unique, not perfect! Add some nonpareils or sanding sugar if you like.
Step 5: Refrigerate
Refrigerate for 10 minutes, until the candy is hardened.
