Description

These festive Grinch Oreo Balls are a fun and delicious holiday treat made with red velvet Oreos, creamy cream cheese, and coated in vibrant green candy melts. Topped with red heart sprinkles, they bring a playful pop of color and sweetness perfect for Christmas parties or seasonal celebrations.

Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 package Red Velvet Oreos (22 cookies)
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 7 oz green candy melts
  • Red heart sprinkles for decoration

Instructions

  1. Prepare Oreo Mixture: Place the Red Velvet Oreos in a food processor and blend until they become fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a mixing bowl.
  2. Add Cream Cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs and mix thoroughly until a smooth, uniform dough forms. This mixture should hold together when pressed.
  3. Shape Balls: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into approximately 22 equal-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill Balls: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for about 30 minutes to firm up and make dipping easier.
  5. Melt Candy Coating: Meanwhile, melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely smooth.
  6. Coat Oreo Balls: Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled ball into the melted green candy coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Allow excess coating to drip off before placing them back on the parchment paper.
  7. Add Sprinkles: Immediately decorate each coated ball with red heart sprinkles before the candy coating sets.
  8. Set and Serve: Let the coated Oreo balls set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes until the candy coating hardens. Once set, serve and enjoy these delightful festive treats.

Notes

  • Make sure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easier mixing.
  • If you don’t have a food processor, place Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
  • You can substitute candy melts with white chocolate and add green food coloring if preferred.
  • Store the finished Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
  • Let candy melts cool slightly but still fluid to avoid melting the Oreo balls when dipping.
