Ingredients
- 1 bag miniature pretzels (approximately 3 dozen)
- 2 cups Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Strawberry yogurt
- 5 cups confectioners’ sugar
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (121°C) to prepare for drying the yogurt coating on the pretzels.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Allow to Harden: Let the pretzels dry in the oven for 3 to 4 hours until the yogurt coating hardens.
- 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.
