How to Make Christmas Pretzels

Ingredients you’ll need for this recipe

12 mini pretzel twists
1/2 cup green candy melts
12 red heart sprinkles (edible)

Step by Step Guide

1. Start by lining a baking sheet with parchment paper. This makes cleanup a breeze and ensures your pretzels don’t stick.

2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions. Usually, this involves microwaving them in short bursts, stirring in between. Keep mixing until smooth and ready to dip!

3. Time to get dipping! Use a fork to lower each pretzel into the green candy melts, making sure it’s fully coated. Gently shake off any excess candy before placing the dipped pretzel on your parchment-lined sheet.

4. While the green candy coating is still soft, press a red heart sprinkle onto one side of each pretzel. The heart symbolizes the Grinch’s growing heart — perfect for adding a little extra holiday charm!

5. Now, all that’s left is to let the candy coating harden. You can speed up the process by popping the tray in the fridge for about 10 minutes, or let them sit at room temperature until they’re firm. Once they’ve set, transfer the pretzels to an airtight container. They’ll keep fresh for up to a week — if they last that long!

And there you have it — a fun and festive batch of Christmas Pretzels ready to brighten up your holiday season! Whether you’re sharing them at a party, gifting them to friends, or just enjoying them at home, these sweet and salty treats are sure to be a hit. Happy snacking!
