Ingredients
- Pretzel Twists
- Green Candy Melts
- Red Heart Sprinkles – edible candy
How To Make Christmas Pretzels
Step One – Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
Step Two – In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.
Step Three – 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.
Step Four – Before the green candy hardens, place a red heart sprinkle on one side of each pretzel to represent the Grinch’s heart.
Step Five – 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.
Enjoy!
