These Grinch Christmas pretzels are so easy to make. They are ready to go in under half an hour and you only need 3 ingredients to make them.
Place these in Ziploc or cellophane bags and give them as a gift. Perfect for teachers, neighbors, and co-workers! They’re also a great holiday snack to serve for a Grinch movie night. (Which version is your favorite? My daughter calls the original “Meemaw’s Grinch”, the Jim Carey one “Mommy’s Grinch”, and the newest animated one “Walter’s Grinch” when asking him which one he wants to watch. So cute!)

Easy to Make Grinch 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 red heart sprinkles (edible)
Instructions:
Prepare the Baking Sheet:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Melt the Green Candy:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
Dip the Pretzels:
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.
Add Heart Sprinkles:
Before the green candy hardens, place a red heart sprinkle on one side of each pretzel to represent the Grinch’s heart.
Let the Pretzels Set:
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.
Store and Enjoy:
Once the pretzels are set, transfer them to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
