As a young girl, I can clearly recall the first time I ever saw the cartoon version of The Grinch. It was way before the movie with Jim Carrey or the new updated movie from this past year. The concept, of the Grinch’s heart, growing to love Christmas was utterly delightful to me.

I always had a soft spot for The Grinch. It was also a go-to for years to watch at Christmas time. Plus, when I had my girls, I vowed that I’d watch the original with them during the holidays. While I do realize the updated versions are also loved by many in their own right, the original is where it is at for me.

That said, no matter which version we watch we needed a Grinch-themed treat to enjoy while indeed watching. Therefore, I couldn’t resist making Grinch Rice Krispie Treats for my family recently while sitting down to enjoy The Grinch with them.

We have been on a Rice Krispie Treats kick here. My kids actually begged me to make more after the Christmas Tree ones. So, who am I to argue with them?!

That said, I started with these Kellogg’s Rice Krispie Treats. I cut them in half and stuck a popsicle stick into them before refrigerating them first to harden them a bit before working with them.

    I wonder who originally dreamed up The Grinch! Brilliant idea…I hope they got a bonus because that character has made a lot of people a lot of money. 🙂

    Happy Monday, Janine! Have a great week!

  2. Tamara Bowman says

    These are the cutest ever! The Grinch lives near here, because Dr. Seuss based his life on a mountain near our house and they light up a star every holiday season. Huge!
