Snacks: Yogurt Covered Pretzels

Because these are covered in yogurt, I like to think of these pretzels as being a healthy-ish snack option. I used salted pretzels, but I'm sure these would be just as good with saltless pretzels. This is an easy but slightly time consuming recipe. Using strawberry and vanilla yogurt gave me a nice Valentine's Day variety.

• 1 lbs bag of small pretzels (salted or unsalted)
• 2 cups vanilla or strawberry yogurt
• 5 cups confectioners sugar

Equipment needed:

• Wire rack
• Cookie sheet
• Tongs
  

Preheat the oven to 250. Place the wire rack on top of the cookie sheet and set aside.

Mix together the yogurt and sugar, adding the sugar 1 cup at a time until well blended. Refrigerate for about an hour. I found that the cold mixture coats the pretzels better.

Immerse a few pretzels at a time in the yogurt and sugar mixture. Using the tongs, place them on the wire rack and do not stack the pretzels for fear of soggy snacks.

Turn the oven off and place the pretzels in the oven. Apparently, the heat will help harden the frosting but keep the pretzels crunchy.

Leave the pretzels to harden, which will take 4-5 hours.
