Green Ombre Dipped Pretzels are an easy to make treat that’s perfect for St. Patrick’s Day!
Chocolate covered pretzels are one of my favorite sweet and salty snack combinations. They’re creamy, a little decadent, and crunchy. Yum, yum, and YUM! With St. Patrick’s Day right around the corner, I decided to put a holiday spin on my family’s favorite snack.
These pretzels are crazy easy to make. Melt the chocolate, dip, and easy. See? Easy. The best part about this recipe is you can customize your ombre colors to any season. Make these pretzels white, red & green for Christmas. White, pink & red for Valentine’s Day. White, red & blue for 4th of July. Pale yellow, baby blue & pink for Easter. The list goes on and on!
I love a little sparkle, so we added out own St. Patrick’s Day gold with a little disco dust. You can just dip the pretzels and enjoy or even add some sprinkles. This recipe is all about happy, fun food you can make with the kids – so make ’em how you like ’em!
