How To Make Shamrock Pretzel Pops
Shamrock Pretzel Pop Ingredients:
1 bag light green candy melts 12 oz 1 bag bright green candy melts 12 oz 45 mini pretzel twists 15 small pretzels sticks Green and white sprinkles
Supplies Needed:
Parchment paper or wax paper Small microwaveable bowl Kitchen spoon
Directions:
Step 1: Lay out a piece of parchment paper or wax paper on your counter or a baking sheet.
Step 2: In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 1/2 cup light green and 1/2 cup bright green candy melts and heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring between 30 second intervals until melted.
Step 3: Dip one of your small pretzel twists in your chocolate at a time and lay three in a group, with the bottoms touching each other in the shape of a shamrock.
Try to shake off any excess candy melt so that you have enough for all of your remaining mini pretzels. A small spoon can help if your candy melt texture is a little gloopy.
Step 4: Dip 3/4 of a pretzel stick into the melted chocolate and carefully press in between the three pretzels that are your shamrock shape.
Step 5: Top each three leaf clover with sprinkles – from the top to the bottom of the shamrock stems – and let them set for about 30 minutes at room temperature.
If you need this special treat faster, place them on a sheet pan and put them in the freezer.
This recipe will yield approximately 15 pops if you let the excess chocolate drip off each pop before placing each pretzel on the parchment paper. Enjoy!
How Should I Store These Delicious Shamrock Pretzels?
Because they are coated in candy melts, you’re best off storing these pretzel shamrocks in a resealable bag in the refrigerator or an airtight container on the counter for a few days (provided it isn’t too warm in your house. You don’t want your little clovers to melt!).
Can I Decorate These Shamrock Pretzel Treats With Sprinkles I Have At Home?
Yes! If you have white and green sprinkles or jimmies on the shelf, use them! You don’t need to make a special purchase for these sweet treats.
Use sprinkles, green sugar, mini green M&M’s, chocolate candies, shamrock shaped candy, or whatever else you have on hand if that’s what is easiest.
If worse comes to worst, you could even use Lucky Charms cereal for these festive treats. We all know what holiday they belong to!
