Description
These adorable no-bake treats are made with crushed Oreos and cream cheese, dipped in green candy melts, and topped with a tiny red heart. They’re the perfect festive and easy dessert for the holidays.
Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies
- 1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
- 1 (12 oz) bag green candy melts
- 1 teaspoon coconut oil (optional, for thinning)
- Mini red heart sprinkles or red M&Ms
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- Place the entire package of Oreos (filling included) in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Alternatively, place cookies in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix until a uniform, thick dough forms.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the green candy melts according to package directions, stirring in coconut oil if needed to thin the consistency for dipping.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each frozen ball into the melted candy, tapping off the excess. Return to the parchment paper and immediately place a mini red heart sprinkle on top to resemble the Grinch’s heart.
- Allow the candy coating to set completely at room temperature before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
