Grinch-Inspired Christmas Pretzels
Servings: 12 pretzels
Prep Time: 10 minutes / Cook Time: 5 minutes / Cool Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 25 minutes
Ingredients
- 12 mini pretzel twists
- 1/2 cup green candy melts
- 12 edible red heart sprinkles
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
Dip each pretzel twist into the melted green candy, using a fork to lift it out and allowing any excess candy to drip back into the bowl.
Place the dipped pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.
Before the green candy hardens, place a red heart sprinkle on one side of each pretzel to represent the Grinch’s heart.
Allow the pretzels to sit at room temperature until the candy coating is fully hardened. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
Once the pretzels are set, transfer them to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
