Melt the Green Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions. Stir until smooth.

Dip the Pretzels: Dip each pretzel twist into the melted green candy, using a fork to lift it out and allowing any excess candy to drip back into the bowl. Then, place the dipped pretzels onto the prepared baking sheet.

Add Heart Sprinkles: Before the green candy hardens, place a red heart sprinkle on one side of each pretzel to represent the Grinch’s heart.

Let the Pretzels Set: Allow the pretzels to sit at room temperature until the candy coating is fully hardened. You can speed up this process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.

Store and Enjoy: Once the pretzels are set, transfer them to an airtight container. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week.
