How did the pretzel get its shape?

Legend has it that the pretzel was invented by an Italian monk in the year 610 A.D. To reward young children for learning their prayers, he supposedly folded strips of bread dough to resemble the crossed arms of praying children. He called his creation pretiola, which meant “little rewards.” –Wonderopolis.org

SHAMROCK PRETZEL INSTRUCTIONS

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silpat.
Spread out 24 pretzels on the lined baking sheet, placing one candy melt on each pretzel. Set aside.
To shape a St. Patrick’s clover out of fondant, do the following: roll out 6 spheres, about 1/4 of an inch thick.
Take two spheres and press them together, giving them a point on one end. This will create a heart shape. Repeat for the other 2 pairs of spheres.
Press the three fondant hearts together, with one in the center and the other two on the side, slightly angled.
Repeat 24 times to have enough for your two dozen pretzels.
Roll out 24 additional ¼ inch fondant spheres, then roll them into little stubs.
Set aside all of the fondant shapes while the pretzels bake.
Heat oven to 170 degrees F.
Place pan of pretzels and white candy melts into oven and bake for 2 minutes.
While the white candy melts are still warm, gently add a fondant clover on top, followed by a green fondant stub (it will act as your clover’s stem). Repeat for each pretzel.
Allow the pretzel snacks to set for at least 20 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
