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
-
Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and blend until you have fine, even crumbs.
-
Add the cream cheese to the processor. Blend again until the mixture looks thick, smooth, and “mud-like.”
-
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.
-
Place the tray in the freezer for 2 hours so the balls can firm up and hold their shape when dipped.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Press a single red candy heart onto each ball before the drizzle sets.
-
Keep the Grinch Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
