Christmas Grinch Party


For our Christmas Grinch Party this year we found cute green and white Christmas tree shaped pasta. Our 11 year old created our fun Grinch charcuterie board. I think she did a pretty great job! We also made a delicious white chocolate grinch cocoa, and caramel corn puffs dyed green. Our girls had fun decorating and insisting on adding the last minute touch of an onion and banana peel to the table display.
