You're probably a fan of yogurt covered pretzels if you like snacks that combine sweet and salty flavors.It is possible to make them at home, where you can control the ingredients and flavors.Even if you're not an expert in the kitchen, you can easily prepare yogurt covered pretzels, preserves, and yogurt and white chocolate desserts.
Step 1: Prepare a baking sheet by preheating the oven.
To make sure the oven is warm enough to dry the pretzels, set the temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.To catch yogurt that drips off after pretzels are coated, place a wire cooling rack over a baking sheet.It is a good idea to line the baking sheet with foil, wax paper, or parchment paper before placing the wire rack over it.It will be easier to clean the sheet when you are done making the pretzels.
Step 2: The yogurt and powdered sugar should be mixed together.
You can add 2 cups of low fat yogurt to a large bowl.Use an electric mixer to mix 5 cups of powdered sugar into the yogurt one cup at a time.You can use any flavor of yogurt that you like.Some of the classic options are strawberry, blueberry, and vanilla.If you don't have an electric mixer, you can mix the yogurt and powdered sugar with a whisk.
Step 3: The pretzels should be put on the cooling rack.
After the yogurt and powdered sugar are completely mixed, use a pair of tongs to dip 3 dozen miniature pretzels into the mixture.Make sure they are coated on both sides and put them on the cooling rack.The process should be repeated with all of the pretzels.If you don't have tongs, you can use chopsticks or a pair of tweezers.
Step 4: Take the pretzels out of the oven and put them on the baking sheet.
Shut off your oven if you have coated all of the pretzels with yogurt.The pretzels should be placed in the oven with the door slightly ajar.It is possible to dry the pretzels in the warm oven.It helps the yogurt coating set not to get soggy.
Step 5: Transfer the coating to a storage container after several hours.
The yogurt coating has time to fully set if the pretzels are left in the oven for 3 to 4 hours.Store them in a container after they are removed from the oven.The yogurt covered pretzels should last up to 3 days.
Step 6: The cooling rack should be on the baking sheet.
The pretzels will be dried on a baking sheet lined with foil, wax paper, or parchment paper.If you want to catch yogurt that drips off, place a wire cooling rack on top of it.It is easier to clean the baking sheet if it is lined.The yogurt won't make it to the baking sheet, so you can throw the liner away.
Step 7: The powdered sugar, yogurt, and preserves should be combined.
Add 2 cups of powdered sugar, 1 cup of plain low fat yogurt, and 7 grams of seedless blackberry preserves to a medium size bowl.When fully combined, mix the ingredients with a whisk.The yogurt should be plain and not overly sweet.It's possible to substitute your favorite preserves for the berry.Use a seedless variety, though, and strain out any large pieces of fruit or skin before mixing them into the coating.
Step 8: The pretzels should be on the cooling rack.
When you have finished mixing up the yogurt coating, dip 36 thin pretzel twists in one at a time.Use a spoon or wooden skewer to turn them over and then lift them out of the coating onto the cooling rack.The process should be repeated with all of the pretzels.If you have tongs, you can dip the pretzels into the yogurt coating.
Step 9: If you want, add sprinkles to the pretzels.
If you are making pretzels for a special occasion, you may want to add some seasonings to them.Add a light layer of sprinkles to the pretzels while the coating is still soft.It is possible to add the sprinkles.If you want you can leave the pretzels plain.If you want, you can substitute colored sugar for the sprinkles.
Step 10: The yogurt coating should be hardened for several hours before serving.
Leave the pretzels to dry on the rack for 3 to 4 hours after you add the sprinkles.If you want the best results, serve the pretzels right away.Try to eat the pretzels within a day of making them, but store them in an airtight container.
Step 11: The cooling rack should be on the baking sheet.
If you want to dry the pretzels, set the oven temperature to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and let it heat up.To dry the pretzels, place a wire cooling rack on a large baking sheet.Before placing the cooling rack on the baking sheet, line it with foil, wax paper, or parchment paper.It will be easier to clean up that way.
Step 12: White chocolate can be microwaved.
Put 1 cup of white melting chocolates or chips into a microwave safe bowl.After each interval, stir the white chocolate on high.Continue until the chocolate is completely melted.The white chocolate can be melted in a double boiler.
Step 13: The yogurt flavors should be combined with half of the powdered sugar.
Place 12 cup (125 g) of yogurt in one bowl and another in a separate bowl.Next, add 2 12 cups of powdered sugar to each bowl and mix until it is fully incorporated into each yogurt flavor.You can use any flavor of yogurt that you like.If you prefer, you can mix all of the powdered sugar into a single cup of yogurt.
Step 14: White chocolate should be divided between the yogurt mixture.
When the powdered sugar is fully mixed into each flavor of yogurt, add half of the melted white chocolate to the mix.The white chocolate should be fully incorporated into each mixture.
Step 15: You can put the pretzels on the rack or dip them in the yogurt mixture.
When the yogurt mixture is fully blended, coat a bag of miniature pretzels in the two flavors.To set the pretzels on the cooling rack to dry, use a pair of tongs.If you want to have more of your favorite flavors, you can either coat half of the pretzels in yogurt and the other half in vanilla or break them up.
Step 16: Put the baking sheet in the oven to dry the pretzels.
Shut off the oven when all of the pretzels are coated.Leave the door slightly open and put the pretzels on the baking sheet.The pretzels should be set for 3 to 4 hours.You can store your pretzels in a container.They should be fresh for 2 to 3 days.
