Grinch Pretzel Bites – crunchy pretzel snaps, festive green chocolate wafers, and a delightful red heart quin; a sweet and salty holiday treat that even a Grinch will love.
I can’t believe Christmas is already here. It just doesn’t feel like it. Maybe it’s because we didn’t put up a Christmas tree or that we don’t have any gifts to exchange this year. We didn’t get very many Christmas cards either, so maybe I am not the only one in this boat?
I don’t particularly care for this non-festive mood. It’s making me feel a little bit Grinch.
The positive to this bah-humbug feeling, Grinch Pretzel Bites.
Grinch Pretzel Bites are pretzel snaps, green melting wafers, and red heart quins. They’re beyond easy to make, the kids will love them, and the kids at heart will too! (That would be me; I have a soft spot for Grinch-y Christmas treats.)
If an easy sweet and salty treat isn’t enough to make you joyful and triumphant, then the fact that these pretzel bites are too cute AND too delicious should do the trick!
Grinch Pretzel Bites, they’ll make your heart grow three sizes! ❤

Where would I buy green wafers and red hearts? I’m in Memphis Tn
Hi Mary! If you have a local candy/cake supply store they should carry them. Also, a Hobby Lobby or Michaels might have them. You can also buy them online - just below the recipe, it says "Shop This Recipe" with links to purchasing the wafers and hearts on Amazon. Thanks!!
These are adorable!
Can they be frozen?
Hi Janet! I have not froze these so I can't attest to how it will go. I wouldn't recommend it though. From a flavor standpoint they would be fine, but the chocolate may get sugar bloom and also may separate from the pretzels. If you try it though, please let me know how it goes. Thank You & Happy Baking!!
