Celebrate St. Patrick's Day with Delicious Shamrock Bites

St. Patty's Day Shamrock Bites Recipe

Makes about 20 bites

Grocery List

• 1 bag of green chocolate candies (look for mint, spring, or Christmas-themed bags for the best selection)
• 1 bag of dark chocolate kisses
• 1 bag of mini pretzels
• 1 tube of green icing, piping gel, or green candy melts

How It's Done

Step One: Prepare Your Oven

Preheat your oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step Two: Assemble Your Base

Place mini pretzels evenly across the parchment-lined baking sheet. Top each pretzel with an unwrapped dark chocolate kiss.

Step Three: Bake

Put the pretzels and chocolate in the oven for about eight minutes. Keep a close eye on them; you want the chocolate kisses to soften without losing their shape. While they bake, separate your green chocolate candies to streamline the decorating process.

Step Four: Create the Shamrock Shape

Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Take a green candy and gently press it onto the center of each softened chocolate kiss. For the classic shamrock shape, make sure the two rounded ends of the pretzel are facing you. The holes in the pretzel will guide you in placing the candies perfectly!

Step Five: Cool Down

Let the treats cool completely for about 10 minutes before adding the finishing touches.

Step Six: Add the Stems

Once cooled, use your green icing, piping gel, or melted green candy to draw little stems on your shamrock bites to complete the look.

Enjoy Your Shamrock Bites!
