how to make Grinch Oreo Balls with Red Velvet Oreos

Ingredients:

• 1 package Red Velvet Oreos (22 cookies)
• 4 oz cream cheese
• 7 oz green candy melts
• Red heart sprinkles

Directions:

1. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set it aside.
2. In a food processor, pulse the Oreo cookies until fine crumbs form.
3. Add in the cream cheese and mix again until a soft dough forms.
4. Using a 1 tablespoon measuring spoon, scoop out the dough and roll it in between the palms of your hands. Place it on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process until you finish the dough.
5. Chill the truffles in the freezer for 30 minutes.
6. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the candy melts in 30-second increments, mixing in between each time. If your candy melts aren’t thin enough to dip, add 1/2 teaspoon of coconut oil and mix well.
7. Using a chocolate dipping fork, dip each truffle ball into the candy melts, coating it evenly. Then place it back on the baking sheet. Repeat with the rest of the truffles.
8. Place the leftover candy melts in a piping bag and drizzle it on top of the truffles. Then, place a red heart sprinkle on top to create the iconic Grinch heart.
9. Allow the truffles to set in the fridge for a few minutes, then enjoy!
