Ingredients

1 12- oz bag green Wilton Candy Melts*
60 mini pretzels
20 stick pretzels
60 pieces green & white chocolate candies
2 tbsp green & white sprinkles

Instructions

Melt chocolate: Get started by melting the chocolate in a bowl for 1 minute in the microwave. Gently stir, then microwave for additional 30 second intervals as needed. Mine went for about 2 minutes, then I let the chocolate melt the rest of the way in the warm bowl.
Shape Pretzels: First, set out a large sheet of wax paper or parchment paper out on a large baking sheet or two. Then start shaping each shamrock, you will need 3 mini pretzels and 1 stick pretzel. Next, dip each pretzel, one after the other, then shake off the excess chocolate.
Lay each piece on the wax paper, forming the shamrock shape where the bottoms of all 3 mini pretzels are touching. Then gently wedge in the coated stick pretzel between them. It's not difficult, I promise! After the first couple, you will be a shamrock-making machine!
Decorate: Immediately after arranging your shamrock, decorate it with 3 chocolate candies and green and white sprinkles. Be sure to do this quickly, want to do this before the chocolate sets.
Cool: Proceed to let the shamrock pretzels cool until the chocolate turns from shiny to matte. Then gently remove any chocolate dribbles from the sides (if you prefer). Serve and enjoy!
*Instead of using green candy melts, you can essentially make your own by slowly melting 1 12-oz bag of white chocolate chips with 1 TBSP shortening or coconut oil in the microwave. Start with 1 minute, then add 30 seconds and gently stir. I add one more 30 second interval, then let the chocolate sit in the warm bowl for an additional minute or two, then stir gently. After chocolate is melted, add 2-3 drops green food coloring.

Notes

Shamrock pretzels are a creative and fun treat to share during any St. Patrick's Day celebration! These St. Patrick's Day Pretzels taste amazing and everyone is sure to enjoy them.
