Ingredients:
- 1 package (14.3 oz) Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- Green candy melts or green candy coating
- Red heart sprinkles or small red candies
- Candy eyes (optional)
- Crush the Oreo cookies in a food processor or place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin until fine crumbs form.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo cookies with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and a dough forms.
- Roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes to firm up the Oreo balls.
- While the Oreo balls are chilling, melt the green candy melts or candy coating according to the package instructions.
- Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted green candy coating, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess coating to drip off.
- Place the coated Oreo balls back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Immediately place a red heart sprinkle or small red candy on the top of each Oreo ball to resemble the Grinch's heart.
- If desired, add candy eyes to the Oreo balls to give them a fun Grinch-like appearance.
- Allow the coated Oreo balls to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
