Description
These adorable Red Velvet Oreo truffles make the cutest little holiday bites and fit perfectly into Christmas cookie boxes or gift tins!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Red Velvet Oreos (22 cookies)
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 7 oz green candy melts
- Red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper and setting it aside for later.
- Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs. Drop in the cream cheese and blend again until the mixture comes together into a smooth, dough-like consistency.
- Using a tablespoon, scoop portions of the mixture and roll each one between your hands until you have neat little balls. Arrange them on the lined baking sheet and continue until all the dough is used. Freeze the tray for about 30 minutes to firm them up.
- Place the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in 30-second bursts, stirring well after each interval. If the coating feels too thick, mix in about ½ teaspoon of coconut oil (or any neutral oil) to thin it out.
- Dip each chilled truffle into the melted candy using a dipping fork, making sure it’s fully coated, then transfer it back to the baking sheet. Repeat with all remaining truffles.
- Spoon any extra melted candy into a piping bag and drizzle it over the tops of the truffles. Finish each one with a tiny red heart sprinkle to give them their signature Grinch-inspired look.
- Pop the tray in the fridge for a few minutes until the coating sets, then they’re ready to enjoy!
