Directions

1. Step 1Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in marshmallows and food coloring, mixing until combined, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cereal.
2. Step 2Spread onto a a sheet of wax paper. Let cool for 3-4 minutes.
3. Step 3Spritz hands with cooking spray or grease with vegetable oil so the treats don’t stick to your hands. Mold the treats into the shape of the Grinch’s head, which looks a lot like the curved base of a violin. Press two yellow M&Ms into each treat, where the eyes should be.
4. Step 4Place frosting in a piping bag or a resealable bag with the corner snipped off to draw the Grinch’s mouth and nose on each treat, as well as a pupil on each M&M “eye” and eyebrows on top. Draw a squiggle for the hair on top of his head.
