Ingredients
- 1 bag miniature pretzels (about 8–10 oz)
- 2 cups Stonyfield Organic Whole Milk Strawberry yogurt
- 5 cups confectioners’ sugar (powdered sugar)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for the drying process of the frosting.
- Mix Frosting: In a large mixing bowl, gradually mix the confectioners’ sugar into the strawberry yogurt, adding one cup of sugar at a time. Use a hand blender to blend until the mixture forms a smooth, thick frosting suitable for coating.
- Coat Pretzels: Using tongs, chopsticks, or tweezers, dip each miniature pretzel individually into the frosting, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, carefully place the coated pretzel onto a wire cooling rack set over a baking sheet to catch any excess drip.
- Dry Frosting: Once all pretzels are coated and placed on the rack, turn off the oven and place both the wire rack and baking sheet inside. Leave the oven door slightly open so that the residual heat gently helps the frosting dry without making the pretzels soggy.
- Harden and Store: Allow the pretzels to harden in the oven for about 3-4 hours. Afterward, remove them and store the yogurt covered pretzels in an airtight container. They can be kept fresh for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Ensure the frosting is thick enough to coat but not runny; adjust confectioners’ sugar quantity if needed.
- Leaving the oven door slightly open prevents overheating and sogginess while drying the frosting.
- Use a wire rack over a baking sheet to catch excess frosting to keep your workspace clean.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness of the pretzels.
- For variations, try different yogurt flavors or add a dash of vanilla extract to the frosting.
