Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 package (14 oz) Oreo cookies
- 8 oz (225g) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz (340g) white chocolate, melted
- Green gel food coloring
- Red heart sprinkles (or red M&Ms)
Instructions
- Make the Oreo Mixture:
- Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- Add the softened cream cheese and blend until fully combined and smooth.
- Form the Balls:
- Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball. Place the Oreo balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Repeat with the remaining mixture, making about 24 balls.
- Freeze the balls for 20-30 minutes, or until firm.
- Coat the Oreo Balls:
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
- Add green gel food coloring to the melted white chocolate and stir until the desired shade of green is achieved.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each Oreo ball into the green chocolate, coating it completely. Place it back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Decorate:
- Immediately add a red heart sprinkle to the top of each Oreo ball while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill and Serve:
- Let the Grinch Oreo Balls set in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until firm. Serve chilled!
Notes
- Add flavor: Use mint Oreos for a minty twist.
- Make it vegan: Use dairy-free cream cheese and vegan white chocolate.
- Storage: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
