Make these simple, no-bake Oreo truffles coated in green candy melts and decorated with a small red heart to look like The Grinch. They are perfect for holiday parties.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz green candy melts (or white chocolate chips mixed with green food coloring)
  • 1 tablespoon shortening or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Small red heart sprinkles (for decoration)

Instructions

  1. Place the finely crushed Oreo cookies into a large bowl.
  2. Add the softened cream cheese to the crushed cookies. Mix well until a uniform dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  5. Melt the green candy melts according to package directions. If using, stir in the shortening or coconut oil for a smoother consistency.
  6. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Tap off any excess coating.
  7. Immediately place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  8. While the coating is still wet, press one small red heart sprinkle onto the top center of each ball to resemble the Grinch’s heart.
  9. Allow the candy coating to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, you can use Red Velvet Oreos instead of regular chocolate Oreos.
  • If the candy coating becomes too thick while dipping, reheat it briefly in short intervals.
  • Make sure the Oreo balls are very cold before dipping; this prevents them from falling apart in the warm coating.
