St Patricks Shamrock Pretzel Bites (Print Version)

Festive bite-sized pretzels with creamy white chocolate and green sprinkles, perfect for St Patricks Day celebrations.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pretzel Base

01 - 72 mini pretzel twists (about 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 Make:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Arrange three mini pretzel twists in a shamrock clover shape with their points touching on the prepared baking sheet. Place one pretzel stick at the base to form the stem. Repeat to make 24 shamrocks.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until smooth. If needed, stir in coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
04 - Using a spoon, drizzle or spread the melted white chocolate over each shamrock, ensuring the pretzels adhere together and the surface is fully coated.
05 - Immediately sprinkle green colored sugar or sprinkles over the chocolate before it sets.
06 - Allow the pretzel bites to set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes, until the chocolate is firm.
07 - Carefully lift the shamrock pretzel bites from the baking sheet and serve.
