Ingredients to make Grinch truffles

• Oreo cookies – classic or regular gluten-free Oreo cookies work best. Avoid using double-stuffed. You can, however, use mint or golden oreo cookies for this recipe.
• Cream cheese – the cream cheese creates a truffle-like texture and works perfectly with the oreo crumbs. It’s what makes this recipe so simple!
• Green candy melts – colored candy-coating melting wafers can be found in the baking aisle in the grocery store or craft store. If coloring white chocolate, make sure to use oil-based food dye.
• Heart sprinkles – the heart sprinkle in the center is the real star of this simple treat. The layered hearts fit perfectly with the quote of his heart growing in size.

How to make Grinch Oreo Balls

Here is a quick video tutorial and check out our 3-ingredient OREO BALLS for more tips & tricks.

Start by crushing oreo cookies and combining them with softened cream cheese.

Scoop into one-inch balls, then refrigerate until firm. Tip: if the mixture is too soft, refrigerate for 15 minutes before rolling into balls. Use a COOKIE SCOOP to make uniform 1-inch oreo balls.

Dip into melted green candy melts, shake off excess, and place on a silicone mat or parchment-covered baking sheet.

Immediately place a heart sprinkle or candy decoration in the center.

Refrigerate until ready to serve.
