Ingredients
Method
- Set Up Your Workspace: Cover your work surface with wax or parchment paper and secure the corners with tape so it stays in place.
- Sort the Pretzels: Group the mini pretzel twists into sets of three, discarding any broken pieces for a uniform look.
- Melt the Candy: Melt the green and white candy melts separately according to the package directions until they’re smooth and ready for dipping.
- Form Your Shamrocks: Arrange each group of three pretzels in a triangular pattern to mimic a shamrock.
- Dip Each Pretzel: Using a fork, dip each pretzel into the melted candy. Gently shake off any excess candy before placing them on your prepared paper to harden.
- Assemble the Shamrock: Once dipped, bring the pretzels together so their sides touch, forming the shamrock shape.
- Seal the Center: Add a small dollop of melted candy at the center where the pretzels meet to secure the shape.
- Finish with a Touch of Festivity: Place a green M&M in the very center of each shamrock.
- Sprinkle the Fun: Lightly dust the assembled shamrocks with green sugar sprinkles for that extra festive flair.
- Let Set: Allow the cookies to dry completely until the candy coating hardens and holds the shamrock together.
- Optional Variation: For a delicious twist, try filling each pretzel with a little melted candy before assembling the shamrock for an extra gooey treat.
Notes
• Since these are no-bake cookies, patience is key—make sure they set fully before serving.
• They’re best enjoyed fresh; store any extras in an airtight container to keep them crisp.
• Adjust the dipping and assembly process as needed to create uniformly shaped shamrocks.
