Description
Make your holidays extra sweet with these no-bake Grinch Oreo Balls! A fun, festive treat made with Oreos, cream cheese, and green candy melts—perfect for Christmas parties, gifts, or cozy nights in.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz green candy melts
- 1 tbsp coconut oil or shortening (optional, for thinning the coating)
- Red heart sprinkles or red candy decorations
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos: Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form.
- Mix with Cream Cheese: Add softened cream cheese and blend until fully combined into a thick dough.
- Shape into Balls: Roll about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Freeze or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the Candy Coating: Microwave green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add coconut oil if needed.
- Dip and Decorate: Using a fork, dip each chilled ball into the melted coating. Tap off excess and place back on parchment paper. Add a red heart sprinkle on top before the coating sets.
- Set and Serve: Let them harden completely before serving or storing in the fridge.
Notes
- Make sure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easy mixing.
- If you don’t have a food processor, crush Oreos in a zip-lock bag using a rolling pin.
- For a lighter coating, use white chocolate tinted with green food coloring.
- Store in an airtight container to keep fresh for up to 2 weeks.
- Add peppermint extract to the filling for a festive flavor twist.
