Step-by-Step Instructions for Shamrock Pretzel Bites

Gather all ingredients and preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Add green food coloring to pretzel dough and knead until evenly distributed. Let rest for 10 minutes.
Divide dough into golf ball-sized portions, roll into 8-10 inch ropes, and shape into shamrock.
Place shaped pretzel bites on baking sheet, brush with melted butter, and sprinkle sea salt on top.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden brown. Keep an eye to avoid over-baking.
While baking, mix creamy ranch with chives and place Dijon mustard in a separate bowl.
Once baked, let cool for a few minutes and serve with dipping sauces.
