What a fun mix! I need to make this with the kids. We love the Grinch.
Oh my goodness this is so cute. What a great snack to serve over the holidays.
This is such a fun and cute idea! Definitely a great activity and snack to do during the holidays. I think even my teens would enjoy making this with me.
The green chocolate drizzle was such a festive touch. Paired it with Green Grinch Hot Chocolate, and it was a Grinchmas success!
I can imagine the excitement of enjoying this treat while watching the Grinch movie. It’s fantastic how it brings a festive touch to the family gathering!
I love this mix, It is something that I make every year for our Christmas snack. Thanks for sharing the recipe with us.
This snack recipe looks so good. I’ll have to save this recipe and make it next year for my son. He is going to his dad’s tomorrow for the remainder of his school vacation. Christmas holidays went by so fast this year. I’m blessed bc it was my year for Christmas Day.

Love the snack mix idea! Super easy, and the combo is genius. Not a big cook, but this was a breeze. Didn’t make it myself, but my friend did – huge hit!
