I love the rush of the holidays but don’t get me wrong, if I can find any time saving recipes, I am all for it. I would much rather be hanging out with my family than be stuck in the kitchen!

How Do I Make My Grinch Pretzel Bites?

You will not believe how easily these pretzel bites come together. All you do is grab a waffle-style pretzel (the square ones with the grid pattern) and place a candy melt on top.

Then it’s off to the oven for a few minutes and next you add a red candy heart sprinkle and you are ready for yum!

How Do I Store My Grinch Pretzel Bites?

You have a few options for storing your pretzel bites. You can add them to an air-tight storage container or a Ziploc bag and they will last up to 3 days. Because they store well in a baggie, they make the perfect party to-go snack!

Kitchen essentials for tasty recipes like this one:

When you head into the kitchen to make some of these great recipes you’ll want to have the best tools on hand.

I like half sheet baking pans that are quality (hello no noisy pops or sloshed cookie dough from twisting), I line my cookie sheets with silicone baking mats. These are great for all kinds of baking and not just cookies! My husband loves them for making biscuits, pizzas, and more!

Of course mixing bowls, a mixer, spatula, and some whisks should be on your list if you don’t have ones that you love. I also like to have a set of cooling racks so that my recipes can properly cool before they’re scarfed down by my family!

What Do I Need to Make Grinch Pretzel Bites?

For this recipe you will be using green candy melts, waffle style pretzels, and sugar candy hearts or heart shaped sprinkles! That’s all it takes to make these tasty treats.

You can of course mix things up and do them your own way. Feel free to repurpose this process into any color you like for any holiday you like! It’s a great easy treat that everyone will love.

How Do I Make Grinch Pretzel Treats?

Preheat oven to 250 degrees and line a baking pan (cookie sheet) with foil or a silicone baking sheet (this is optional but we recommend it for easy clean-up.) Add pretzels to the pan, leaving room between each.

Place a green candy melt on each pretzel.

Place a red candy heart or sprinkle on the candy melt. Place in the oven for 3-5 minutes, or until the candy melts are just melted. Do not overcook or the chocolate may burn. Remove from the oven and place on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes or until the chocolate sets.
