Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz green candy coating wafers (or white chocolate chips with green food coloring)
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
- Small red heart sprinkles (for the Grinch’s heart)
Instructions
- Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor. Pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until the mixture is fully combined and forms a thick dough.
- Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 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. This step helps them firm up before dipping.
- Melt the green candy coating wafers according to package directions. If using, stir in the coconut oil for a thinner consistency.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Tap the fork gently on the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
- Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Immediately press one small red heart sprinkle onto the top of each ball to resemble the Grinch’s heart.
- Allow the candy coating to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by chilling them for another 15 minutes.
Notes
- If you do not have a food processor, place the Oreos in a large zip-top bag and crush them using a rolling pin.
- For the brightest green color, use candy coating wafers specifically designed for melting, rather than standard chocolate chips.
- These **No Bake Holiday Treats** store well in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
