Shamrock Pretzel Bites White (Printable)

Bite-sized shamrock-shaped pretzels dipped in white chocolate topped with green sprinkles for a sweet and salty crunch.

# 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
05 - 1 to 2 teaspoons coconut oil, optional for smoother chocolate

# Preparation steps:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
02 - Arrange three mini pretzel twists in a shamrock shape with their points touching on the prepared baking sheet. Position one pretzel stick at the base to form the stem. Repeat this process to create 24 shamrocks.
03 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips using 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until smooth. Stir in coconut oil if needed for improved consistency.
04 - Using a spoon, drizzle or spread melted white chocolate over each shamrock, ensuring the pretzels adhere together and the surface is 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.
