What better rice krispie treats to have for Christmas than Grinch Rice Krispie Treats!
I love watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas during the holiday season. The boys also enjoy the movie so I decided to make some delicious treats for a movie night.
The recipe for these treats is based on my Best Rice Krispie Treat recipe. The recipe makes delicious and gooey rice krispie treats.
Tips for making Grinch Rice Krispie Treats
- A 16 oz bag of Mini Marshmallows is equal to 8 cups. Before starting, measure out 2 cups of marshmallows to prepare.
- Use non-stick cooking spray. Spray the dish that the treats will be placed in and the spatula that you plan to pat the treats into shape. This will help the treats not to stick.
How to make Grinch Hearts on the Treats
For these treats, we drew hearts on each treat with red candy melts.
Use disposable icing bags for the candy melts. This way you can heat the candy melts in the bag according to the directions, use, and toss. It makes for easy cleanup. Just snip the end when ready and pipe on the hearts.
It doesn’t take long for candy melts to cool and harden. So work quickly when piping the hearts. If you need to, reheat the candy and finish piping.

Turning the treats green and adding a red heart reminds me of the Grinch’s heart and how it grew at the end of the movie.
