People Are Making Grinch Dip That’s Full of Who-Cheer

Green can remind us of a lot of things during Christmastime—evergreen trees that we hang our ornaments on, the fresh smell of peppermint wafting through the air. But there’s one in particular that comes to mind, and it’s not so much a what as it is a who. And who might that be, you ask? Why, the Grinch, of course!

His grumpy attitude has captured our heart for years, so it’s no surprise that Grinch-inspired recipes cover our tables during movie marathons and holiday parties. Grinch dip (complete with heart sprinkles) is just the treat we need to remind of us of our favorite cantankerous Christmas character.

What’s in Grinch dip?

• Whipped topping: A whole container of whipped topping acts as the base that will make your dip full, light, fluffy and sweet.
• Vanilla cake mix: White cake mix will make the dip a bit brighter than yellow cake mix, and it will add sweetness. It’s important to note that dry cake mix cannot be eaten raw and should be baked beforehand. Raw flour can contain salmonella or E. coli, so it’s important to pop it in the oven first before using. You can sprinkle the box of cake mix onto a baking sheet and bake at 350°F for seven minutes to heat treat it.
• Vanilla Greek yogurt: Greek yogurt is a wonderful blank slate. This will give the dip a bit of heft while keeping it smooth and moist.
• Green food dye: We can’t possibly call it Grinch dip without the familiar chartreuse green, can we?

Step 1: Mix the first three ingredients

In a large bowl, add your whipped topping. Next, stir in your vanilla cake mix. Top with your Greek yogurt. Combine well until all ingredients melt seamlessly together.
