Grinch Candy-Coated Pretzels
I’m still listing my Grinch recipes! Today I have a SIMPLE, Grinch candy-coated pretzels recipe. I LOVE chocolate-covered pretzels. The Grinch look of these pretzels makes them so much FUN to eat.
Grinch candy-coated pretzels only require 3 ingredients. I absolutely LOVE easy recipes that require few ingredients. I’m such a LAZY cook, lol.

Ingredients
- Light green candy melts
- Mini pretzel twists
- 48 red candy hearts
Instructions
1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Pour candy melts into a microwave-safe bowl, and heat on high in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each heating session until fully melted.
3. Holding one corner of the pretzel, dip into melted candy, then set on parchment paper and place a candy heart on top.
Notes
I wish that I would make candy-coated pretzels more often. It seems like I only do it during the Holiday season. You could change the colors of the candy melts (if you weren't in a Grinch mood) and use this recipe any time of year.
This would be a quick and easy treat for a Christmas party. Kids and adults would enjoy the chocolate-covered pretzels. Don’t forget that I have all my other Grinch recipes posted, including my Grinch frappuccino. It is SO good. Don’t miss out on that one.
I found this Grinch rocky road candy recipe. It would be another welcome addition to a Holiday party.
Enjoy all of your Christmas gatherings this year and remember to reach out to friends. The Holiday blues are a real thing!
