Description

Delightfully festive Grinch Oreo Balls made with red velvet Oreos, creamy cream cheese, and coated in vibrant green candy melts. Topped with red heart sprinkles, these no-bake treats are perfect for holiday parties or themed celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Dough

  • 1 package Red velvet Oreos (22 cookies)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened

Coating and Decoration

  • 7 oz green candy melts
  • Red heart sprinkles
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil or any unflavored oil (optional, for thinning candy melts)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside to keep your Oreo balls from sticking and to facilitate easy cleanup.
  2. Form Oreo Dough: In a food processor, pulse the red velvet Oreos until they form fine crumbs. Add the softened cream cheese and pulse again until a soft dough forms, ensuring the mixture is evenly combined.
  3. Shape Oreo Balls: Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop out the dough and roll between your palms to form smooth balls. Place each ball onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all dough is used. Chill the balls in the freezer for 30 minutes to firm up.
  4. Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly between each until smooth. If the candy melts are too thick for dipping, mix in 1/2 teaspoon coconut or unflavored oil to thin the mixture.
  5. Dip Oreo Balls: Using a chocolate dipping fork or similar tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted candy, fully coating it. Place the coated truffles back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  6. Decorate: Transfer any leftover candy melts into a piping bag and drizzle over the coated truffles. Immediately top each with a red heart sprinkle to recreate the iconic Grinch heart detail.
  7. Set and Serve: Allow the candy coating to set in the refrigerator for a few minutes until firm. Enjoy your festive Grinch Oreo Balls!

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to avoid lumps in the Oreo dough.
  • If candy melts are too thick, use a small amount of oil to thin; avoid overheating to prevent burning.
  • Store Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • For added flavor, you can substitute coconut oil with other neutral oils like vegetable oil.
