Scale
- 24 red velvet sandwich cookies (e.g., Red Velvet Oreos)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted
- Green food coloring
- 1/4 cup red heart-shaped sprinkles
Instructions
- Make the Oreo Mixture:
- Crush the red velvet sandwich cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Mix in softened cream cheese until a dough-like consistency forms.
- Shape the Balls:
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for 20 minutes to firm up.
- Color the Coating:
- Melt white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
- Add green food coloring to the melted chocolate and stir until evenly colored.
- Coat the Oreo Balls:
- Dip the frozen Oreo balls into the green chocolate using a fork or toothpick. Tap off excess chocolate and place back on the parchment paper.
- Decorate:
- Before the coating sets, add a red heart sprinkle to the top of each ball to complete the “Grinchy” look.
- Allow the coating to harden completely before serving.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
- For extra crunch, drizzle with additional chocolate or sprinkle crushed candy canes on top.
