St Patricks Shamrock Pretzel Bites (Print Version)

Bite-sized shamrock pretzels coated in creamy white chocolate and decorated with green sugar sprinkles.

# What You'll Need:

→ 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

# How To Make It:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
02 - Arrange three mini pretzel twists in a shamrock clover configuration with points touching on the prepared baking sheet. Position one pretzel stick at the base to form the stem. Repeat this process to create 24 complete shamrocks.
03 - Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each cycle, until completely smooth. Stir in coconut oil if needed for improved fluidity.
04 - Using a spoon, drizzle or spread melted white chocolate over each shamrock, ensuring the pretzels are bound together and 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 firms completely.
07 - Carefully lift shamrock pretzel bites from the baking sheet and transfer to serving dish.
