These Yogurt Covered Pretzels are a cute and low-fat sweet treat. I like to serve them as a fun snack at parties and for the holidays. Though they are pretty in pink, they can be made in any color.

Pink Yogurt Covered Pretzels
I find that nothing is more snackable than yogurt-covered pretzels. I make them pink and add sprinkles for a fun, cute, and delicious sweet treat for Valentine’s Day, but you can change up the color to match any occasion.
These pretzels are perfect for kids and adults. Kids will flock to this little sweet treat, so I love serving them at parties. Sometimes I’ll use red and green food dye at Christmas, or match our favorite team’s colors for game day events.

Becky’s Tips
- Use food coloring gel instead of liquid. It will give you better color. The liquid kind doesn’t work as well when mixed with melted yogurt or chocolate.
- If the yogurt cools too much while you’re dipping the pretzels, just stick it back in the microwave for another 10 seconds.

Serving Suggestions
When we’ve got the gang coming over for a game day celebration, I like to offer a few things for everyone to nibble on. Along with the pretzels, I’ll prepare crockpot queso to satisfy my cheese addiction, with vegetable sticks and homemade tortilla chips. If we’re feeling particularly hungry, I’ll whip up some air fryer chicken wings .

This Essential Grocery List is an absolute life saver for my family on the busy weeks. When I started this journey to learn how to cook, I quickly realized that the first step in cooking is having staple ingredients on hand. I want to avoid having to run out to the grocery store every single time I prepare a new recipe. Having a well-stocked pantry has made my life in the kitchen so much simpler, because when it’s time to cook, I have what I need.
Essential Grocery List
It’s so helpful to have a basic grocery list to help me remember which foods to buy at the store. This food shopping list is my go-to!
It’s better to stock up on things like grains, seasonings and spices, baking essentials, oils, condiments, canned and frozen foods, etc. so I can just grab them when I need them. These things have a long shelf life , so I keep them in my kitchen for convenience.
However, I do have to go to the supermarket sometimes, and there’s a way to make that trip easy and hassle-free: I keep a grocery list! If I go in blindly, I’ll leave with things I don’t need, and nothing that actually helps me prepare a good meal.
In the list below, I’ve compiled everything I always have on my stock-up grocery list.
I’ve got you covered! I created an easy grocery list filled with all of the essentials. Plus there’s a free printable version that you can take with you to the grocery store. It has everything you need to stock your pantry, your freezer, and your refrigerator.

What to Buy at the Grocery Store
