Ingredients

1 package (15.5 oz) Oreo cookies (regular or double-stuffed)

8 oz cream cheese, softened

2 cups green candy melts or white chocolate (tinted green with food coloring)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 cup red candy melts (for decoration)

Holiday sprinkles (optional, for extra flair)

Instructions

Crush the Oreos: In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place them in a large zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Mix together until fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth. Add in the vanilla extract and mix again.

Form the Balls: Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, form the Oreo mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a lined baking sheet. Once all the mixture is shaped into balls, refrigerate them for at least 15-20 minutes to firm up.

Melt the Green Candy: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth. Make sure not to overheat; it should be warm and pourable.

Dip the Oreo Balls: Take the chilled Oreo balls out of the refrigerator. Dip each ball into the melted green candy using a fork. Allow the excess candy to drip off and then return them to the baking sheet.

Decorate with Red Candy and Sprinkles: Melt the red candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle over the green-coated Oreo balls for a festive touch. You can also add sprinkles on top while the candy coating is still wet.

Chill Again: Once decorated, place the Oreo balls back in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the coating fully set.

Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve your Grinch Oreo Balls on a festive platter and watch them disappear at your holiday gatherings!
