Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 package Red Velvet Oreos
- 8 ounces (226 grams) cream cheese, softened
- 1 package green candy melts
Coating/Decorative Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup (85 grams) white chocolate chips
Binding/Melting Ingredient:
- 1 tablespoon (15 milliliters) coconut oil
Instructions
- Crush Red Velvet Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor until uniformly ground.
- Incorporate softened cream cheese with Oreo crumbs, blending thoroughly until a cohesive mixture forms.
- Craft uniform spherical treats approximately one inch in diameter, positioning them on a parchment-lined tray.
- Chill the formed spheres in the freezer for 30 minutes to solidify their structure.
- Melt green candy coating in a microwave-safe container, stirring every 30 seconds until completely smooth and liquid at 110°F.
- Carefully immerse each chilled sphere into the verdant candy coating, ensuring total coverage. Use a fork to extract and drain excess coating.
- Gently place the enrobed spheres back onto parchment paper, optionally adorning with delicate white chocolate drizzles for visual appeal.
- Return the decorated treats to the freezer for an additional 10-15 minutes, allowing the candy shell to completely set and harden.
Notes
- Choose Red Velvet Oreos at room temperature for smoother blending and easier mixing with cream cheese.
- Use a small cookie scoop or melon baller to create uniform, perfectly round Oreo balls with consistent size.
- Add a splash of peppermint extract to the green candy melts for extra Grinch-themed holiday flavor and festive touch.
- If dairy-free or vegan, substitute cream cheese with coconut cream and use dairy-free white chocolate for coating.
