Instructions

Preheat & Prepare – Preheat the oven to 250°F (130°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Assemble Shamrocks – Arrange the pretzels on the baking sheet:
- Use 3 mini pretzel twists to form the leaves of the shamrock.
- Place 1 pretzel stick at the bottom for the stem.
- Position a Rolo candy in the center where all the pretzels meet.
Melt & Secure – Warm in the oven for 2 minutes, just until the Rolo softens but doesn’t melt completely.
Add Green Center – Remove from the oven and immediately press 1 green M&M into the softened Rolo, flattening it slightly to help secure the pretzels.
Set & Cool – Let the shamrocks cool at room temperature or refrigerate for 30 minutes until firm.
Serve & Enjoy! – Carefully remove from the parchment paper and serve.

Notes

For a peanut butter twist, use mini Reese’s cups instead of Rolos.
For a white chocolate version, swap Rolos for white chocolate squares and use white chocolate-covered pretzels.
To make ahead, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days.
