How to Make Pretzel Wreaths

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Melt 1 cup of vanilla chips in a small saucepan over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
  3. Arrange 6 pretzels in a circle on a prepared baking sheet, placing the side with one hole on the outside of the ring.
  4. Remove one pretzel from the circle.
  5. Dip the inner half of the removed pretzel into the melted vanilla chips.
  6. Place the dipped pretzel back into the circle.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining pretzels in the circle.
  8. To form the top layer, dip 6 additional pretzels, one at a time, halfway into the melted vanilla chips.
  9. Place the dipped pretzels over the first circle, ensuring the coated holes overlap 2 pretzels below.
  10. Repeat steps 3-9 to make 5 additional wreaths.
  11. Refrigerate the wreaths for 15 minutes, or until the coating is firm.
  12. Weave one piece of string licorice through the coated holes in each pretzel wreath.
  13. Tie a bow with the licorice ends.
  14. **Microwave Method:** Place 1 cup of vanilla chips in a 2-cup microwave-safe measuring cup.
  15. Microwave on medium for 2-3 minutes, or until melted, stirring once halfway through.
  16. Stir until smooth. Continue with instructions 3-13.
