Yogurt Covered Pretzels Recipe

Introduction

Yogurt covered pretzels make a delightful sweet and salty snack that’s easy to prepare at home. This simple recipe uses creamy strawberry yogurt and confectioners’ sugar to create a smooth, tangy coating. Enjoy a batch fresh out of the oven or pack them as a tasty treat on the go.

Ingredients

• 1 bag miniature pretzels
• 2 cups Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Strawberry yogurt
• 5 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
2. Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, gradually add the confectioners’ sugar to the strawberry yogurt one cup at a time, mixing thoroughly with a hand blender until smooth.
3. Step 3: Using tongs, chopsticks, or tweezers, dip each miniature pretzel into the yogurt frosting, coating it evenly. Place the coated pretzels on a wire cooling rack set over a baking sheet to catch drips.
4. Step 4: Once all pretzels are coated, turn off the oven and place the wire rack and baking sheet with pretzels inside, leaving the oven door slightly open. This gentle heat will help the yogurt frosting dry without making the pretzels soggy.
5. Step 5: Allow the frosting to harden for 3 to 4 hours. Once set, remove the pretzels from the oven and store them in an airtight container.

Tips & Variations

• For a crispier coating, consider adding a thin layer of melted white chocolate over the dried yogurt frosting.
• You can substitute strawberry yogurt with other flavored yogurts, but expect slight differences in sweetness and texture.
• If you don’t have a hand blender, use a whisk and mix the yogurt and sugar vigorously until smooth.

Storage

Store yogurt covered pretzels in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Avoid refrigerating as this can cause the coating to sweat and lose its crispness. If the coating softens, you can refresh them briefly in the oven at 200°F for 5 minutes before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular plain yogurt instead of strawberry yogurt?

Yes, plain yogurt works well, but the flavor will be less sweet and fruity. You might want to add a small amount of vanilla extract or a bit more sugar for extra flavor.

How do I know when the yogurt coating is fully dried?

The coating will feel firm and no longer sticky to the touch after 3 to 4 hours of drying in the warm oven. Patience is key to achieving a crisp, non-soggy finish.

Scale 1x2x3x

Ingredients

• 1 bag miniature pretzels (approximately 3 dozen)
• 2 cups Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Strawberry yogurt
• 5 cups confectioners’ sugar

Instructions

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to prepare for drying the yogurt coating on the pretzels.
2. Mix Yogurt and Sugar: In a large mixing bowl, gradually blend the confectioners’ sugar into the strawberry yogurt using a hand blender. Add the sugar one cup at a time until completely incorporated and smooth.
3. Coat Pretzels: Using tongs, chopsticks, or tweezers, dip each miniature pretzel individually into the yogurt frosting, ensuring an even coating. Place each coated pretzel carefully onto a wire cooling rack.
4. Prepare for Drips: Position a baking sheet beneath the wire rack to catch any excess frosting that drips off the pretzels, keeping your work area clean.
5. Dry the Coating: Once all pretzels are coated and arranged on the wire rack, turn off the oven and place the rack with the baking sheet inside. Leave the oven door slightly ajar. The residual heat will gently dry the frosting without making the pretzels soggy.
6. Allow to Harden: Let the pretzels dry in the oven for 3 to 4 hours until the yogurt coating hardens.
7. Store Properly: After drying, remove the pretzels from the oven. Store them in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.

Notes

• Be sure to leave the oven door slightly open when drying the pretzels to prevent excessive heat buildup that could melt the yogurt coating.
• Using tools like tongs or tweezers helps keep the pretzel coating neat and minimizes fingerprints.
• This recipe works best with whole milk yogurt for a creamier texture.
• Store in an airtight container at room temperature, not refrigerated, to maintain the crisp coating.
• Adjust drying time slightly depending on your oven’s residual heat and humidity conditions.
