Ingredients

  • 40 Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 20 oz White Vanilla Flavored Melting Wafers bag and a half - we used Ghirardelli
  • 4 drops green food coloring neon or bright green works best
  • 20 red candy heart sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until you have fine, even crumbs.
  2. Add the cream cheese to the processor. Blend again until the mixture looks thick, smooth, and “mud-like.”
  3. Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to portion the dough. Roll each scoop into a ball with your hands and place it on a tray. Repeat until all the mixture is rolled.
  4. Place the tray in the freezer for 2 hours so the balls can firm up and hold their shape when dipped.
  5. Melt 15 oz of the melting wafers according to package directions. Stir in 4 drops of green food coloring until the candy coating turns a bright Grinch shade.

  6. Insert a skewer or toothpick into each ball and dip it into the melted green coating. Let excess drip off, then place each dipped ball on parchment paper to set.
  7. Place the remaining white melting wafers in a piping bag. Microwave on defrost for 1 minute, then continue heating in 30-second intervals until melted. Drizzle the white chocolate over the Oreo balls.
  8. Press a single red candy heart onto each ball before the drizzle sets.
  9. Keep the Grinch Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
