Instructions
Creating Grinch Pretzels is straightforward. Follow these simple steps to make your own delightful treats:
1. Prepare Your Workspace: Lay out wax paper on your counter or a baking sheet to cool the pretzels on later.
2. Melt the Green Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to package instructions, stirring until smooth.
3. Dip the Pretzels: Hold a pretzel rod by one end and dip it into the melted green candy. Make sure to coat it evenly.
4. Remove Excess: Gently tap the pretzel against the bowl’s edge to remove any excess candy coating.
5. Place on Wax Paper: Lay the coated pretzel on the wax paper to cool and harden.
6. Repeat: Continue dipping the remaining pretzel rods in the green candy melts.
7. Melt the Red Candy: Once the green coating has set, melt the red candy melts in a separate bowl.
8. Decorate with Hearts: Using a fork, drizzle the melted red candy over the green pretzels to create a heart shape. Alternatively, you can use a piping bag for more control.
9. Add Mini Marshmallows: While the red candy is still warm, place mini marshmallows on the pretzels to represent the Grinch’s heart.
10. Sprinkle (Optional): If desired, add sprinkles while the candy is still wet for extra flair.
11. Let Cool Completely: Allow the pretzels to cool for about 30 minutes or until the candy sets completely.
These steps will guide you in creating Grinch Pretzels that are not only beautiful but also incredibly tasty!
