Sweet and salty shamrock-shaped pretzel bites coated in creamy white chocolate and green sprinkles, perfect for festive gatherings.

# What You'll Need:

→ Pretzel Base

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

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.

03 - Place white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and heat in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth. Incorporate coconut oil if needed to achieve desired consistency.
04 - Using a spoon, drizzle or spread melted white chocolate over each shamrock, ensuring the pretzels adhere together and the surface is evenly coated.
05 - Immediately sprinkle green colored sugar or sprinkles over the chocolate coating before it begins to set.
06 - Allow pretzel bites to set at room temperature for 20 to 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 10 minutes until chocolate is completely firm.
