Delightful Grinch-themed treats made with Red Velvet Oreos, cream cheese, and green candy melts, perfect for holiday gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 44 Red Velvet Oreo cookies
  • 227 grams cream cheese, softened
  • 425 grams light green candy melts
  • Red candy hearts for decoration

Instructions

  1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper. Gather tools including a food processor or blender for crushing Oreos, an electric mixer for blending cream cheese and crumbs, and a 3.8 cm cookie scoop for portioning.
  2. Using a food processor or blender, pulse the Red Velvet Oreos until finely crushed. Avoid large pieces to ensure even texture in the mixture.
  3. In a large bowl, beat softened cream cheese using an electric mixer until smooth. Gradually incorporate Oreo crumbs until forming a moist, uniform dough. Adjust consistency by adding crumbs or cream cheese as needed.
  4. Scoop 3.8 cm portions of the mixture and roll into smooth balls. Arrange on the parchment-lined tray and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to firm up. Alternatively, freeze for 30 minutes but avoid complete freezing to prevent cracking during dipping.
  5. Melt green candy melts using a double boiler over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth. Alternatively, microwave on defrost power in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to avoid overheating.
  6. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each chilled ball into the melted candy coating, tapping off excess. Place back on the parchment. If candy hardens, gently re-melt. Drizzle additional melted candy if desired and immediately top with a red candy heart before coating sets.
  7. Refrigerate the dipped balls until the coating is fully set. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve arranged on a festive tray.

Notes

  • Ensure cream cheese is softened for easy mixing.
  • Use high-quality candy melts for better coating.
  • Chill the balls thoroughly to maintain shape during dipping.
