What do you need for Grinch Pretzel Bites?

Square Pretzels
Bright Green Candy Melts
Red Candy Heart or Red Heart Sprinkles

Candy Melts can be found typically at your local grocery store in the baking aisle or at Walmart or Hobby Lobby. Remember to get a true green for this recipe, there are some softer greens as well but the true green will work the best.

This is all you need to make these cute treats. If you are looking to make these gluten-free, I have not found a good square pretzel that is gluten-free, but you could try it with regular gluten-free pretzels. The issue with that is simply that the melted green candy may ooze out from the pretzel due to the shape.

How do you make Grinch Bites?

Warm the oven up to 200 degrees F, these will be baked at a low temperature.

Using a prepared baking sheet that is covered with parchment paper, place the square pretzels onto the baking sheet and then add a candy melt to each pretzel.

Place the pretzel bites in the oven for about 4-5 minutes or until the chocolate candy melt is shiny.

Carefully remove and add a heart to the center of each pretzel. Then, it’s time to let the candy sit and harden for about 15 minutes before serving.

How do you store this easy treat?

Store these fun Christmas treats in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.
