FAQ & TIPS
Do I have to use two colors of chocolates?
For these delicious treats I wanted to get the perfect shade of bright green chocolate. To do that I mixed two shades of green. However if you only have one color of green chocolates that will work just fine!
Can I make the treats green?
If you want even more grinch-y green color you can put a few drops of green food coloring in your marshmallow mixture so that the entirety of the treats are green.
To get the perfect candy melt consistency-
Candy melts are perfect for decorating these homemade rice krispie treats. However sometimes they can be a little hard to drizzle because they’re thick when they melt. So to thing the chocolate you can add shortening or coconut oil a teaspoon at a time until the best consistency is reached. Don’t ever add water to thin the chocolates!
Here’s what you’ll need for these Grinch Rice Krispies Treats
6 Cups Rice Krispies Cereal
1 -10-12oz Package Mini Marshmallows
4 Tbsp Butter
1 Cup Vibrant Green Candy Melts
¼ Cup Kelly Green Candy Melts
Large Heart Sprinkles
1 Tbsp Vegetable Shortening or coconut oil (optional)
Here’s how to make these Grinch Rice Krispie Treats
Line a 13×9 inch baking pan with parchment paper and then butter the pan or spray with non stick cooking spray.
In a large saucepan melt butter over medium-low heat. Add in marshmallows and continue to heat stirring frequently until the marshmallows are completely melted.
Remove the melted marshmallows from the stove and pour in the rice krispies. Stir to evenly coat the cereal.
Pour the marshmallow and cereal mixture into the prepared pan firmly press it evenly across the bottom of the prepared baking sheet in an even layer. To keep the mixture from sticking to your hands you can butter them, or cover your h and with a small sheet of wax paper. Or you can use a buttered spatula.
Allow to cool completely.
Remove the cereal treats from the baking pan and cut into 18 squares.
Place candy melts in a double boiler or a heat proof bowl over a pot of water melt the candy melts over medium heat until completely melted and smooth. Add in shortening or coconut oil a tsp at a time if necessary to reach a smooth consistency.
Place the melted cereal treats in a piping bag and snip off the end or you can use a resealable bag and cut off the corner.
Drizzle melted chocolate over each cereal treat one at a time. Place a red heart sprinkle in the corner while the chocolate is still soft.
Repeat until all cereal treats are covered with chocolate, allow to cool. Store in an airtight container.
