Helpful Tools
- Lollipop stand
- Baking sheets
- Parchment paper
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Rubber spatula
- Lollipop sticks
- Large Ziploc bag
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the lollipop stand on a baking sheet. Line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
Melt the green candy melts following the package instructions. Once melted, stir in the coconut oil and stir until combined.
Secure the Sticks: Dip each lollipop stick about a 1/2″ in the candy melt and then stick it in the middle of one end of the rice krispie treat.
Place it on the prepared baking sheet and repeat with the rest of the treats. Chill them for five minutes before doing the next step.
Pour the melted candy melts into a tall cup. Dunk each treat about 2/3 of the way to coat. Allow the excess chocolate to drip off and then place the treat in the lollipop stand. Chill the pops for 10 minutes or until the coating has hardened.
Transfer the rest of the candy melt to the Ziplock bag. Snip off one corner of the bag. I like to snip it at a 45 degree angle to make it easy to drizzle.
Take the treats and lay them on the baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle the candy coating over the top of each marshmallow pop.
For the best look, go partly down both sides without touching the pan. If your drizzle reaches the pan, your treats will have spikes that stick out once hardened.
While the coating is wet, place one red grinch heart in each treat’s upper right-hand corner.
Chill the Grinch treats one more time for about five minutes or until the coating is hardened. If you aren’t serving them right away, store them in an airtight container.
FAQ
You can use white candy melts. Melt them first and then use green food coloring to tint the mixture. It must be an oil based food coloring made specifically to color chocolate. Start with a little coloring – it’s easy to add more, but if you add too much it’s hard to fix it.
Yes, you can absolutely go DIY with this recipe and make homemade ones with rice krispies cereal, butter, and marshmallows. I would make the treats about 3″ x 2″ when cutting them to size.
Keep them in an airtight container and they will keep well for up to two days at room temperature.
Tips
If your chocolate is too thick, add more coconut oil and reheat for a few seconds in the microwave to thin it.
For the dipping, be sure to use a cup or container that is wide enough to fit the treat and deep enough to dip the treat so it’s 2/3 coated.
If your drizzles harden before you can add the hearts, just use a dot of candy melt on the heart and place it on the treat so it sticks.
I can’t wait for you to try these yummy Christmas rice krispies treats! They’re always a winner with both the kids and adults. So, plan a grinch movie night and treat your family to a batch – it’ll be a fun holiday memory!
