How cute is this How the Grinch Stole Christmas Popcorn for the holidays? Another fun recipe from the Dixie Crystal Kid’s in the Kitchen. The popcorn is a green color like the Grinch, and it even has a garnish of candy hearts to symbolize his heart growing three sizes. It’s the perfect themed Christmas food that your kids will love making and sharing with others.

My kids love being in the kitchen with me. When kids are able to help out in making meals or treats, they are more likely to eat them. This works especially well with getting kids to try new foods. They want to sample the foods they make. The Dixie Crystals Kids in the Kitchen site has lots of different recipes and craft ideas that you can do with kids. We love the holiday ones!
What are you planning on making this holiday season with your kids?

This looks so yummy. I love the addition of the hearts. They are cinnamon, right?
My favorite “The Grinch” character is the Grinch himself–he wants to be nice! Really, deep down he does!
