St. Patrick’s Day treat~Clever Clovers made with white chocolate pretzels

February 29, 2012 by · 4 Comments
Welcome to the St. Patrick’s Day Blog Carnival. I have partnered with almost a dozen other bloggers to bring you a variety of St. Patrick’s Day craft activities, treats and recipes. My recipe comes from a recipe I adapted from Disney Family Fun magazine. It was in their March 2011 issue and mine is already all stained and tattered in a kitchen drawer. Like many recipes I find, I usually love the concept but adapt it a bit.  Here is a printable shopping list, just check off what you need. yogurt pretzels shaped like clovers

3 yogurt mini pretzels per clover
 
1/4 cup of white chocolate chips
 
few tsps of canola oil
 
green icing in a tube
 
decorating sugar (green is easy to find after the holidays on clearance, that’s where I got mine!)
 

To assemble your clovers, you melt the white chocolate chips with the vegetable oil, and you brush it on, using it as sort of a glue to hold your pretzels together in the shape pictured. I prefer white chocolate to yogurt pretzels, so that is what I used.

This is the part I modified–their recipe calls for piping the green icing on, as pictured. Uh, yeah, I don’t have the time nor the patience. Plus, then they really don’t store well and you can’t stack them easily. So what I did–I brushed the top with the white chocolate chip mixture, and then just dusted them with green sugar. It still has a very nice presentation and it is a bit easier to do, plus then I could stack them in a container more easily, without ruining the icing.

Well, that is my contribution to the St. Patrick’s Day list. Please go visit my friend and fellow Philly Social Media Mom Stephanie over at A Grande Life.  She has up a really fun post about St. Patrick’s Day Candied Popcorn.
