Description

These delightful Grinch Oreo Balls are a festive treat made with creamy cream cheese and Red Velvet Oreos, coated in vibrant green candy melts. Perfect for holiday gatherings, these no-bake bites are not only easy to make but also visually appealing, adding a splash of color to your dessert table.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 24.4 ounces Red Velvet Oreos (2 packages, 44 cookies total)
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
  • 15 ounces light green candy melts
  • Red candy hearts (for decoration)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Crush the Oreos: Use a food processor to crush the Red Velvet Oreos until they reach a fine crumb consistency. Alternatively, place the cookies in a zip-top plastic bag and smash them with a rolling pin.
  • Mix Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with an electric hand mixer on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  • Combine Ingredients: Add the Oreo crumbs to the cream cheese and mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform.
  • Form the Balls: Using a 1.5” cookie scoop, portion out the mixture and roll each portion into a smooth ball with your hands. Arrange the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Chill: Place the cookie balls in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to firm up before proceeding to dip them.
  • Melt the Candy: Reserve ½ cup of the candy melts for drizzling; set aside. Melt the remaining candy melts in a double boiler over low heat, stirring frequently until completely smooth.
  • Dip the Balls: Dip each chilled ball into the melted candy using a fork or toothpick, allowing any excess to drip off before returning them to the baking sheet.
  • Decorate: Drizzle the reserved melted candy over the coated balls with a spoon or piping bag, and immediately place a red candy heart on top before the drizzle sets.
  • Set: Return the completed Grinch Oreo Balls to the refrigerator until the candy coating is fully set.

Notes

  • Chill the cookie balls thoroughly before dipping to ensure they hold their shape.
  • These can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
  • Use different colored candy melts for various occasions.
