Grinch Candy Pretzels are the Perfect Balance of Salty & Sweet!

In honor of the Grinch’s heart being three sizes too small, I chose to use mini pretzels for this fun recipe. You could easily use the larger pretzels, if you prefer. Both work to create this fun treat.

This recipe is kid-friendly and something that the entire family can get involved in creating! These pretzels make for a beautiful display at a Christmas party, can be packaged up for gifting, or snacking on while you are watching your favorite Grinch movie.

I prefer the classic Dr. Seuss cartoon version, while my kids are more fond of the 2000 version featuring Jim Carrey. Both still bring laughs and festive Christmas spirit to our house! Which one do you prefer?
