Description

These easy Grinch Pretzels are a fun Christmas treat made with crunchy mini pretzels, green candy melts, and red heart sprinkles. With just 3 ingredients and no baking required, they’re perfect for holiday parties, classroom treats, Christmas movie nights, or a festive Grinch-themed snack.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 12 mini pretzel twists
  • 1/2 cup green candy melts
  • 12 red heart sprinkles (edible)

Instructions

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
  2. Add the green candy melts to a microwave-safe bowl and melt according to the package directions. Stir until completely smooth.
  3. Dip each pretzel twist into the melted green candy. Use a fork to lift it out, letting any excess candy drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped pretzel on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Before the candy coating sets, add a red heart sprinkle to one side of each pretzel to represent the Grinch’s heart.
  5. Let the pretzels sit at room temperature until the candy coating is completely hardened. If you want to speed things up, pop the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  6. Once the pretzels are completely set, transfer them to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to one week.

Equipment

Notes

  • Instead of dipping the entire pretzel, dip part of it in green candy and add lines of chocolate in a zigzag pattern over the top.
  • You could also drizzle a small amount of red candy melts over the green pretzels before adding the heart.
  • For another sweet-and-salty variation, add soft caramels or caramel chews to create a caramel pretzel candy.

  • And if you love the idea but want something bigger, use pretzel rods instead of twists. Dip them in a tall glass filled with melted green candy and add a candy heart to make easy Grinch pretzel rods (sort of like these Cactus Pretzel Rods… but with a heart).
