Calories: 100kcal
Ingredients
- 1 package of mint-flavored Oreo cookies
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
- Green candy melts
- Red heart-shaped sprinkles
- Edible candy eyes
Instructions
Prepare the Oreo Mixture
- In a food processor, crush the mint-flavored Oreo cookies until they become fine crumbs.
- Transfer the crushed Oreos to a mixing bowl and add the softened cream cheese.
- Mix until well combined and forms a dough-like consistency.
Shape the Truffles
- Using your hands, roll the Oreo mixture into small truffle-sized balls and place them on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
- Place the truffles in the refrigerator and let them chill for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Melt the Candy Coating
- In a melting pot or microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts according to the package instructions.
Coat the Truffles
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted green candy coating, ensuring they are fully coated. Use a fork to lift them out, letting excess coating drip off.
Decorate the Grinch Faces
- While the candy coating is still wet, place two edible candy eyes on each truffle.
- Attach a red heart-shaped sprinkle just below the eyes to create the Grinch's heart.
Chill and Set
- Place the decorated truffles back on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the candy coating is set.
Serve and Enjoy
- Once the Grinch Oreo truffles are fully set, remove them from the refrigerator. Use a small heart-shaped cookie cutter to create a more defined heart shape around the red sprinkle.
