How to Make

Step 1: We used both regular-sized and mini-sized pretzels for our Grinch Heart Pretzels to shake things up a bit but you can you just one size. For these fun Christmas Pretzel treats we made pretzels in Grinch Green and Red.  We made 18 pretzels of each color, using 1/3 regular-sized pretzels and 2/3 mini pretzels.
Step 2: We used 50 Red Candy Melts to cover 18 pretzels.  We placed them on a piece of parchment paper and melted them in the microwave.  We started at 40 seconds, stirred them, and then microwaved them again in 10-second increments until the candy melts were fully melted.  Then we placed a pretzel in the melted candy mixture and used a fork to cover the top area of the pretzel.
Step 3: When the pretzel was completely covered, we placed the candy-covered pretzel on a piece of wax or parchment paper to dry.  
Step 4: Finally, we drizzled red candy melts on the red Grinch Heart Pretzels for decoration. To do this, we melted 15 Wilton Red Candy Melts in a Ziploc bag.  Once melted, we cut the tip off the bag and drizzled the candy over the pretzels. Make sure you only cut the very very tip of the bag. You only want a small hole to give yourself more control over the drizzle.  Once the drizzle has hardened you can up the drizzle on the outside and inside of the pretzels with your fingers.

Step 5: Repeat the process with Wilton Vibrant Green Candy Melts.  We used 50 candy melts for covering the pretzels and 15 candy melts in a plastic bag for the candy melt drizzle. The kids will love helping make these Grinch Heart Pretzels and what a fun Christmas-time dessert! Our Grinch Heart Pretzels are a fun and delicious Christmas party treat or family movie night snack.
