How to Make Grinch Pretzels
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place square pretzels flat on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
- Add one green candy melt to the center of each pretzel.
- Bake in the oven for about 5 minutes or until the candy melt is softened.
- Remove from the oven and add a red candy heart to the top of each pretzel while the candy is still warm. Some kitchen tweezers work well for this job.

Grinch Pretzel Rods
If you have extra candy melts, make some Grinch Pretzel Rods with your leftover ingredients.
- Place candy melts into a tall glass and melt them in the microwave. Add a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted candy melts to make it easier to work with and give a smooth finish.
- Hold the pretzel rods on one end and dip them into the melted candy melts. Remove and allow the excess chocolate to drip into the glass.
- Place the chocolate-coated pretzels on a piece of parchment paper. Add a red heart sprinkle along with additional Christmas sprinkles if desired.
