Happy Holidays: Grinch Truffles

The holidays are definitely a favorite time of year for me and my family over at The Melrose Family. I love creating memories with my little girls and one of our favorite things to do is to create homemade gifts for neighbors and friends who aren’t expecting a gift from us. We think of it as our little acts of kindness and it brightens everyone’s day. We recently enjoyed The Grinch and my girls understood for the first time that the entire preface of the movie is about having love in your heart for others. We decided to emphasize that with these Grinch Truffles.

Grinch Truffles

These Grinch Truffles are super easy to make, which you might have guessed when you saw that they were truffles. I make these similar to my peppermint red velvet cake pops so it’s red velvet cake inside with white chocolate on the outside. Instead of crumbled peppermint, I added the Wilton heart candies to represent the Grinch’s heart. You can package these one of two ways. You can use the santa hat, which the tutorial on how to create it is HERE or you can package them with a bow.

I love the santa hat, but I’m also partial to just adding a pretty red bow to the top of a mason jar. I pretty much just love creating Mason Jar Gifts so either way it’s super cute because you can see the truffles through the mason jar with the hearts peaking through.
