These Adorable Grinch Rice 'Kranky' Treats Will Make Your Heart Grow 3 Sizes

The end of December is finally near: We're a week away from Christmas. It's practically here.

If you're trying to kill some time while you await the big day, you can play noisy games like Zoozit and Kazay.

Or, if you're in a lazy mood, you can watch "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" and stuff your face with food.

If you're looking for a movie snack that's perfect in the least, you can pig out on Who pudding and feast on roast beast.

Or, you can try out something new: a treat that's bound to make the all the Whos down in Whoville cry "boo hoo."

That's right: The folks over at Delish just had an idea.

A wonderful, awful idea for a Grinch-inspired recipe that's sure to land you a spot on Santa's naughty list this year.
