St Patricks Shamrock Pretzels (Printable)

Bite-sized pretzel clusters dipped in smooth white chocolate and decorated with green sprinkles.

# Ingredient List:

→ Pretzel Base

01 - 72 mini pretzel twists, approximately 3 per shamrock
02 - 24 mini pretzel sticks for stems

→ Chocolate & Decorations

03 - 12 oz white chocolate chips or white candy melts
04 - Green colored sugar or sprinkles
05 - 1 to 2 teaspoons coconut oil, optional for smoother chocolate

# How-To Steps:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Arrange three mini pretzel twists in a shamrock formation with points touching on the prepared baking sheet. Position one pretzel stick at the base to form the stem. Repeat to create 24 shamrock units.
03 - Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Melt in 30-second intervals, stirring between each session, until completely smooth. Add coconut oil if needed for improved flow.
04 - Using a spoon, drizzle or spread melted white chocolate over each shamrock, ensuring the pretzels bond together and the surface is fully coated.
05 - Immediately sprinkle green colored sugar or sprinkles over the chocolate coating before it solidifies.
06 - Allow pretzel bites to set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes until the chocolate becomes firm.
07 - Carefully remove shamrock pretzel bites from the baking sheet and arrange for serving.
