How to Make Grinch Rice Krispie Treats Recipe:
- Step 1 – Prepare Pan – Spray a 9X13 pan with a non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Step 2 – Melt butter and marshmallows – Place the butter and marshmallow in a large saucepan. Melt together over low heat stirring frequently.
- Step 3 – Melt – Once the ingredients are melted and combined, remove from heat.
- Step 4 – Add green food coloring – Add in the green gel food coloring until the mixture is a vibrant green coloring.
- Step 5 – Stir in Cereal – Slowly stir in the Rice Krispie Cereal. Mix until the cereal is coated in the marshmallow and butter mixture.
- Step 6 – Press mixture into pan – Press the mixture into the 9X13 pan.
- Step 7 – Spray Parchment Paper – I like to spray a piece of parchment paper with non-stick spray. Use that parchment paper to press the cereal down into the baking dish.
- Step 8 – Add Red Heart – Top the Rice Krispie treats with the red heart sprinkles.
How to Cut Rice Krispie Treats Smoothly:
- Make sure Rice Krispie Treats have cooled completely.
- Remove the entire Rice Krispie Treats from the pan with the parchment paper.
- Place on a cutting board and cut with a sharp knife.
- You may need to spray the knife with cooking spray to prevent the treats from sticking to the knife.
- Slice into small squares and place on a platter.
Tips for Grinch Rice Krispie Treats:
- Melting Butter and Marshmallows – Make sure that these two ingredients are melted completely before adding in cereal. Melt marshmallow and butter in a large saucepan.
- Remove from heat – Once they have melted remove from heat.
- Pressing into pan – Use parchment paper or sheets of wax paper to press cereal mixture into pan.
How to Store:
Store leftover rice krispie treats in an air tight container at room temperature. They will last about 5 days.
Recipe Variations:
- Candy Melts – Drizzle the top with green candy melts for added flavor.
- M&M – You can use a red M&M instead of a red candy sprinkle.
- Green Food Coloring – Use more or less green food coloring depending on how vibrant you want the color.
