You are 3 ingredients away from a fun and festive snack that will steal your HEART ❤ 

Recipe notes:

• I like to use 2% reduced-fat, vanilla-flavored Greek yogurt for this recipe. While a nonfat (0%) Greek yogurt will also work, I find the nonfat varieties become a bit icier and less creamy when they’re frozen.

I prefer to buy yogurt brands without added sugar, like Oikos PRO vanilla, which is sweetened with Stevia.

• If you love yogurt and want a thicker layer, use closer to 1 teaspoon per pretzel. 

• I use semi-sweet chocolate chips and melt them in the microwave. Place chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 30-second intervals, stopping and stirring, until the chocolate is velvety smooth. It’s important to do this slowly, so you don’t overcook and burn the chocolate. 

• For no-added-sugar chocolate, use a brand of chocolate chips sweetened with dates, stevia, or monkfruit. I’m loving these date-sweetened chocolate chips and these stevia-sweetened semi-sweet chocolate chips.

• If you follow a gluten-free diet, opt for a gluten-free pretzel.
