Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree Cupcakes

February 26, 2018

Line 2 large baking sheets with reusable baking mats. Lay out the pretzel sticks on the sheets, allowing 2" of space between each one.
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 20 second intervals on 50% power until smooth. Transfer to a quart-sized resealable plastic bag and snip off one corner.
Squeeze the bag back and forth over each pretzel to make the trees. While wet, sprinkle with nonpareils and candy cane sprinkles and top with candy stars; let set.
Frost the cupcakes with buttercream frosting and coat in coconut. Place a tree into each cupcake.
