Grinch Dip Ingredients
To make this Grinch recipe, you will need the following ingredients (go to the recipe below for exact quantities and instructions):

- Cool Whip
- Powdered sugar
- Red non-pareil sprinkles
- Neon green food dye: When adding in your food dye, start with a few drops and mix to test the color. Keep adding small amounts until you get the right color green.

How to Make This Grinch Dessert Dip
- Place cream cheese block in large mixing bowl and add powdered sugar. Mix on low with an electric mixer.
- Add in the whipped topping and mix on high.
- Add in green food coloring and mix until all the color is mixed into the dip.
- Spoon dip into your serving bowl and smooth out the top with the back of your spoon. Using the heart shaped cookie cutter gently place it on the surface of your dip.
