After 3 minutes, the sticks are kind of difficult to push in. I made them a couple of ways, playing around with various temperatures. They finally look decent (not as beautiful as yours above). I know it’s not rocket science, but you’ve got the skill to get those sticks in there!! LOL.
Hi Jody,
Thanks for reaching out and letting us know how the pretzel shamrocks turned out for you. After all your experimentation, what was the ideal time/temperature combination that worked best for you?
Hope you’re having a great week — and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
