St. Patrick’s Day is just around the corner so I thought it would be fun to start sharing some recipes themed for the holiday. Today I’m sharing a yummy recipe for mint chocolate covered pretzels adorned with green and white nonpareils. The best part is these pretzels are great no matter what day it is. They are so addicting that you will probably want to plan on making a double batch — one for you to munch on and one to give away. Simply place in a pretty jar or baggie tied with a ribbon and you have a nice gift!

You can adjust this recipe for just about any holiday — simply use different colored nonpareils. And if you don’t like mint chocolate, you can always substitute it for milk chocolate or white chocolate.
