Make these adorable Grinch Oreo Balls for a fun, no-bake holiday treat. These festive Christmas truffles use crushed Oreos and cream cheese, coated in bright green candy melts, and topped with a tiny red heart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 12 ounces green candy melts or white chocolate chips with green food coloring
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Small red heart sprinkles or red M&M candies for the heart

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs. If you do not have a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  2. Transfer the Oreo crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese. Mix with a rubber spatula or clean hands until the mixture is completely combined and forms a thick dough.
  3. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 24 to 28 balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up before dipping.
  5. Melt the green candy melts according to package directions. If using, stir in the coconut oil for a smoother consistency. You can melt them in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
  6. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Gently tap off any excess coating.
  7. Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  8. Before the coating sets, immediately press one small red heart sprinkle or candy onto the top center of each ball to resemble the Grinch’s heart.
  9. Allow the Grinch Oreo Balls to set completely at room temperature, or speed up the process by placing them back in the refrigerator for about 15 minutes.
  10. Serve these cute Christmas desserts immediately or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • If you want a slightly different flavor, substitute regular Oreos with Red Velvet Oreos for a subtle red tint in the center.
  • For easy dipping, use a toothpick inserted into the ball, dip it, and then carefully pull the toothpick out, smoothing the hole with another utensil if needed.
  • These make excellent make ahead Christmas desserts; they keep well for up to one week in the refrigerator.
