FAQs
Can I use regular-sized pretzels instead of mini pretzels?
Yes, you can use regular-sized pretzels. Just keep in mind that larger pretzels will require more yogurt coating and may take slightly longer to freeze.
Will the yogurt coating melt quickly?
The yogurt coating will soften at room temperature, so it’s best to keep these pretzel bites frozen until you’re ready to serve them for a refreshing crunch.
