Grinch Rice Krispie Bites Recipe
Ingredients:
- 3 Tablespoons Butter
- 3 Cups Mini Marshmallows
- 3 Cups Rice Krispie Cereal
- Green Food Coloring (Wilton Color Right Food coloring: 4 drops of yellow, 1 drop of blue)
- Heart Sprinkles (large size)
Instructions:
- Make a 3 cup batch of Rice Krispie Treat mixture by melting 3 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add 3 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
- Before adding the Rice Krispie Cereal, color the marshmallow mixture with food coloring to achieve the Grinch green color. Use 4 drops of yellow and 1 drop of blue food coloring and mix well.
- Add 3 cups of Rice Krispie Cereal to the colored marshmallow mixture and stir until the cereal is well coated.
- Allow the mixture to cool slightly, just enough so you can handle it, but it should still be malleable. Measure .5 oz. of the mixture (or eyeball an equal portion) and use your hands to roll it into a ball. If it's too sticky, butter your fingers a bit.
- Make 18 Rice Krispie Treat Bites from the batch by forming them into balls and gently pressing a large heart sprinkle on each one. If necessary, mold the Rice Krispie Treat mixture around the heart sprinkle to secure it in place.
- Allow the Grinch Rice Krispie Bites to cool completely. If applied while the mixture is still warm, the heart sprinkle should adhere firmly once the treat cools.
Enjoy your Grinch Rice Krispie Bites, perfect for a festive holiday treat or a Grinch-themed movie night!
