Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz green candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
- Small red heart sprinkles or candies (for the nose)
Instructions
- Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you do not have a food processor, place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Transfer the crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a spatula or clean hands until the mixture is fully combined and forms a stiff dough.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get approximately 24 to 30 balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up before dipping.
- Melt the green candy melts according to package directions. If using, stir in the coconut oil to thin the coating slightly.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Let excess coating drip off.
- Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet. Immediately press one small red heart sprinkle onto the top center of the ball to resemble the Grinch’s nose.
- Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for 10 to 15 minutes.
Notes
- For a different flavor, substitute regular Oreos with Red Velvet Oreos for a subtle red hue in the center.
- If the candy coating becomes too thick while working, microwave it in 15-second intervals until it reaches a smooth, dipping consistency again.
- These Christmas Oreo Truffles are excellent for cookie exchanges and make simple Christmas gifts food.
