How To Make Grinch Rice Krispie Treats

Add the butter to a large pot.

Heat it over medium heat, until it is fully melted.

Add in the marshmallows, stirring as they melt to prevent burning.

Once the marshmallows have melted, add a generous amount of neon green gel food coloring to the melted mixture.

Stir well to combine the color until it looks smooth.

Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the rice krispies cereal.

Stir until the cereal is well coated with the green marshmallow mixture.

Press this mixture into a large 9×13 inch baking dish that is lined with parchment.

Press the heart cookie cutter into the rice krispies to cut out heart shapes.

Once you get as many hearts out of the mixture as you can, you can press the remaining rice krispie mixture together and press it back into the baking dish to cut out more hearts.

Add a jumbo heart sprinkle to each treat.

Allow the Grinch rice krispie treats set, about 1 hour. Serve and enjoy!
