Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup of Sugar
  • ½ cup of Corn Syrup
  • 1 cup of Mini Pretzel Twists
  • teaspoon of Salt
  • 1 Tablespoon of Butter
  • 1 teaspoon of Vanilla
  • 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
  • ½ cup of White Chocolate - melted
  • Green Food Coloring Gel for Chocolate
  • Red Hearts Sprinkles

Instructions
 

  • First, measure out all your ingredients into small dishes. If you skip this skep, the candy will be begin to harden too quickly. DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP!
  • In a microwave safe medium size bowl, add the sugar and corn syrup and stir together. Place in the Microwave for 6 minutes, on HIGH, stirring half way through, at 3 minutes. 
  • Line a Cookie sheet with Parchment Paper, and set aside.  
  • Remove from the Microwave, and add the Butter, and Microwave for 1 minute.
  • Remove bowl from the microwave, and stir in mini pretzels, salt, and vanilla, and microwave for 15 seconds. 
  • Remove Bowl, and stir in Baking Soda - the mixture will be light and foamy. 
  • Quickly, pour the Brittle out onto the Parchment Paper lined Cookie sheet, and spread out into a thin layer with spoons, or forks - you'll need two utensils to spread the Brittle. 
  • Let the Brittle cool for about 30 minutes, and make sure the Brittle is set, or hard to the touch.
  • Melt the White Chocolate in the Microwave, and stir until smooth.  Add a few drops of the Green Food Coloring Gel, and stir until blended.  Add more if needed to achieve the green color.
  • Using a Fork, or small spoon, drizzle the melted Chocolate over the Brittle, leaving enough space for the Brittle to show through the chocolate. 
  • Add the Red Grinch Hearts, pressing them slightly into the Green chocolate. 
  • Allow about an hour for the Chocolate to completely harden, and all ingredients to cool completely.  
  • When Brittle is cool, Break into pieces. 
  • Serve and Enjoy!
