How to Make Gluten Free Shamrock Pretzel Pops

Step 1: Melt the Chocolate

Melt your chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each round until smooth.

Step 2: Arrange the Shamrock Shape

Place about a teaspoon of the chocolate on a parchment lined baking sheet. Press a lollipop stick into the center, then 3 mini pretzels around it to form a shamrock shape. Place in the freezer to harden.

Step 3: Spoon & Secure

Spoon melted chocolate over the rest of the pretzels, letting it spread just enough to cover them and hold everything together.

Step 5: Decorate

While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle with sprinkles or drizzle with green candy melts.

Step 6: Let Them Set

Allow the pretzel pops to set at room temperature or pop them in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes until firm.

That's it! You officially have the cutest gluten free St. Patrick's Day dessert ever!
