Prepare pretzels by using store-bought white/yogurt-coated or making your own (mix melted white chocolate/yogurt with optional sugar, dip pretzels then cool)
Create a white base on the platter using 1/2 cup sugar-free yogurt or whipped coconut cream
Arrange pretzel stars in sections to form a 7×6 grid pattern
