⭐ Ingredients (Makes 24 Oreo Balls)

1 package (14.3 oz / 405 g) Oreo cookies
1 (8 oz / 225 g) package cream cheese, softened
1 bag (12 oz / 340 g) green candy melts
1/4 cup (50 g) red candy melts
Heart-shaped sprinkles or red heart candies for decorating

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Prepare the Oreo mixture
Pulse the Oreo cookies (filling included) in a food processor until fine crumbs form.
Transfer crumbs to a bowl, add softened cream cheese, and mix until a dough-like consistency forms.

Form the balls
Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Freeze for 15–20 minutes, or until firm.

Melt the candy melts
Melt green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Melt red candy melts the same way in a separate bowl.

Coat the Oreo balls
Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green candy using a fork or dipping tool.
Tap off excess coating and place on the parchment-lined sheet.

Decorate
While the coating is still wet, place one small red heart sprinkle on each Oreo ball.
Drizzle melted red candy over the top for a festive Grinch-inspired finish.

Chill & Serve
Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes, or until the coating is completely set.
Serve chilled or at room temperature.
