Grinch Rice Krispie Treats
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 10 ounce bag mini marshmallows
- Green gel food coloring
- 6 cups crisp rice cereal
- 1/4 cup white frosting for decorating
- 16 mini marshmallows for the hat tips
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 inch pan with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on two sides.
- Melt the butter in a large pot over low heat, then add the mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
- Stir in green food coloring a drop at a time until the melted marshmallow reaches a bright, even green.
- Remove from the heat and fold in the cereal quickly, stirring until every piece is coated.
- Press the mixture firmly but gently into the prepared pan using buttered hands or a buttered spatula.
- Let the pan cool at room temperature for 20 minutes, until fully set.
- Lift out using the parchment overhang and cut into 16 triangles.
- Dab white frosting along the wide base of each triangle and press a mini marshmallow at the point.
Good to Know
These dry out fast once cut, so slice them the morning of the party, not the night before, and keep them covered until serving.
