Make these simple, no-bake Grinch Oreo Balls for a festive holiday treat. They combine crushed Oreos and cream cheese, coated in green candy melts, and topped with a small red heart.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies, finely crushed
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 24 oz green candy melts or white chocolate wafers
  • 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • Small red heart sprinkles or small red M&M candies

Instructions

  1. Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and process until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place them in a sealed bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and the softened cream cheese. Mix with a hand mixer or sturdy spoon until fully combined and a thick dough forms.
  3. Roll the dough into small, uniform balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  4. Chill the Oreo balls in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm them up.
  5. Melt the green candy melts according to package directions. If using, stir in the coconut oil for a thinner consistency.
  6. Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green coating, ensuring it is fully covered. Tap off any excess coating.
  7. Place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined sheet.
  8. Before the coating sets, immediately press one small red heart sprinkle or candy onto the top center of each ball to resemble the Grinch’s heart.
  9. Allow the candy coating to set completely at room temperature or chill briefly until firm.

Notes

  • You can use any flavor of Oreo cookie, but the original chocolate sandwich cookies work best for color contrast.
  • If you do not have a food processor, crush the cookies in batches inside a sturdy zip-top bag.
  • Store the finished Grinch Oreo Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
