These are so cute. Thanks for sharing 🙂
These are really cute. How did you get the smaller 1/3 length fully dipped? Thanks!

Thanks Karen! So, I use a fork to dip all my stuff. I submerged the small pieces fully in the chocolate and then I lifted it up with my fork and I would rub the fork on the edge of the bowl of chocolate and all the excess would run off through the slats of the fork. Does that make sense?
adorable! I like this version because you used the pretzels as the branches – more sturdy and more pretzel! Pinning 🙂
adorable! I was about to ask the same question about how you dipped them. I am so making these! Thanks for sharing at Talking Tuesday.
Just a comment: we used the red gel as recommended, but the dots now stick to anything they touch–wax paper, the other trees in the container, etc. Another time I would probably use either candy sprinkles or some kind of icing that hardens better.
