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.
