Make these adorable Grinch Oreo Balls for a festive, no-bake holiday treat. They feature a chocolate cookie center coated in bright green candy melts and topped with a small red heart sprinkle, perfect for Christmas parties or gifting.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies (about 36 cookies)
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz green candy melts
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother dipping)
  • Small red heart sprinkles (for the Grinch’s heart)

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. If you do not have a food processor, place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them thoroughly with a rolling pin.
  2. Transfer the cookie crumbs to a medium bowl. Add the softened cream cheese.
  3. Mix the crumbs and cream cheese together using a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon until a uniform dough forms.
  4. Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get about 30 to 36 balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This step helps them firm up before dipping.
  6. Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to package directions, stirring every 30 seconds. If the mixture is too thick, stir in the coconut oil.
  7. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Gently tap the bottom of the spoon on the side of the bowl to remove excess coating.
  8. Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Immediately place one small red heart sprinkle on top of each ball to resemble the Grinch’s heart before the coating sets.
  10. Allow the Grinch Oreo balls to set completely at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to speed up the process.
  11. Serve these easy Christmas desserts or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

  • For the best texture, use the entire Oreo cookie, including the cream filling.
  • If you cannot find green candy melts, you can use white chocolate melting wafers and add green oil-based food coloring. Do not use standard liquid food coloring as it will cause the chocolate to seize.
  • These bite sized Christmas sweets keep well in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
