How to Make Grinch Pretzels

Making these Grinch-themed snacks is so easy! Just follow these steps:

1. Prepare the pretzels: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out half of the pretzels.

2. Add the caramel: Cut each caramel into thirds. Place a piece on each pretzel, then top with another pretzel to form a sandwich. Gently press them together.

3. Melt the chocolate: Follow the instructions on the bag to melt the white chocolate. Stir in the coconut oil and green food gel until smooth.

4. Dip and decorate: Dip each pretzel sandwich into the green chocolate. Place it back on the baking sheet, and quickly top with a red candy heart before the chocolate hardens.

5. Set and serve: Let the pretzels sit until the chocolate is firm. Serve them in a bowl for a festive Grinch Christmas party snack!
