Summer Strawberry Pretzel Bites 🍓🥨☀️

When I'm spending the day scrapbooking, I love having a snack nearby that's easy to grab, doesn't make a mess, and satisfies my sweet tooth. These Strawberry Pretzel Bites are the perfect combination of sweet, salty, creamy, and refreshing, and they're ready in minutes!

Ingredients

• Mini pretzel twists
• Fresh strawberries, sliced
• Cream cheese, softened
• Honey (optional)
• White chocolate chips (optional for drizzling)

Directions

1. Spread a small amount of cream cheese onto each pretzel.
2. Top with a slice of fresh strawberry.
3. If you'd like a little extra sweetness, drizzle lightly with honey. We don't want sticky fingers, so very little.
4. For a special touch, melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top.
5. Chill for 10–15 minutes before serving.
