“How the Grinch Stole Christmas,” is one of our favorite Christmas movies. We love sweet treats at holiday parties and Grinch desserts add so much color and are a fun treat to celebrate the holiday season.
The Grinch is such a classic and we love when the Grinch learns the true meaning of Christmas and his own heart grows. It’s so much fun to use this Grinch as a theme for a holiday party.
Make one (or all!) of these Grinch desserts and put on the Grinch for movie night or for a Grinch Christmas party. Themed treats always make a party more fun.
🛒 Common Ingredients Needed to Make Grinch Treats
Many of these recipes can be made with simple ingredients you have at home or can find in grocery stores.
- red heart – we love these red candy hearts to make the Grinch’s heart
- green food coloring – use drops of food coloring to turn things green. Gel food coloring works the best.
- green candy melts – these are a great option to get the perfect green color for candy coated desserts that require melted chocolate
- peppermint or mint – add a minty flavor to your Grinch treats with peppermint extract
