These sweet Christmas trees are inspired by my Chocolate Blueberry Clustersoffering delicious pops of chocolate-covered goodness with juicy bursts of fruit in every bite. They’re simple and festive to make (you just need patience when creating the trees on the parchment paper), and it’s a fun snack-tivity to do with the kiddos. The real joy comes in the extra décor— just like adorning a traditional Christmas tree, you can customize your chocolate trees with all your favorite “decorations”— whether it’s crushed candy canes, pistachios, freeze-dried strawberries, shredded coconut, or any other delish additions, the more, the merrier!

 

  • Prep time
  • Total Time
This recipe makes 4 Christmas trees
Ingredients:
  • • ½ cup chocolate chips, melted
  • • 2 pretzel sticks, broken in half
  • • 40 blueberries (about a heaping half cup)
  • • Toppings of choice (crushed candy cane, shredded coconut, crushed pistachios, etc.)
Preparation:

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 

Add berries into melted chocolate and stir to combine (the chocolate will thicken, so mix it up as quickly as possibly).

Dip the tip of a pretzel stick in the chocolate and place it vertically on the lined baking sheet. Place chocolate-coated blueberries in a Christmas tree formation— 2 blueberries on either side of the top of the pretzel, followed by three blueberries, then two and one at the top.

Sprinkle on desired toppings and place in fridge or freezer for about 30 minutes to firm chocolate. Store any leftovers in fridge or freezer, too!

Nutrition provided per Christmas tree (without personal toppings).
