Description
Easy no-bake Grinch Oreo Balls are a festive Christmas treat. They combine crushed Oreos with cream cheese, then are coated in green candy melts and decorated to look like the Grinch.
Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies, finely crushed
- 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup green candy melts
- 1/4 cup red candy melts
- Black edible marker
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, mix crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Chill the balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
- Melt the green candy melts according to package directions. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted green candy, coating completely. Return to the baking sheet.
- Melt the red candy melts.
- Once the green coating has set, use a toothpick to create a small dollop of red candy melt for the Grinch’s hat trim.
- Use the black edible marker to draw eyes and eyebrows on each Grinch Oreo ball.
- Allow the candy coating to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is fully softened.
- If the Oreo mixture is too sticky, you can add a few more crushed Oreos.
- If the mixture is too dry, add a little more cream cheese.
- You can make these a day in advance and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
