Grinch Oreo Holiday Treat (Printable Version)
Festive treats combining Red Velvet Oreos, cream cheese, and green candy melts, ideal for holiday occasions.
# Everything You’ll Need:
→ Core Ingredients
01 -
44 Red Velvet Oreo cookies
02 -
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
03 -
15 ounces light green candy melts
04 -
Red candy hearts for decoration
# Steps to Cook:
01 -
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and gather a food processor or blender, an electric mixer, and a 1.5-inch cookie scoop.
02 -
Pulse Red Velvet Oreos in the food processor until finely crushed, avoiding large pieces for a uniform texture.
03 -
Beat softened cream cheese until smooth using an electric mixer. Gradually add Oreo crumbs and mix until a moist, uniform dough forms. Adjust consistency by adding more crumbs or cream cheese as needed.
04 -
Scoop 1.5-inch portions of the mixture, roll into smooth balls, arrange on the prepared sheet, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours until firm. Alternatively, freeze for 30 minutes but avoid full freezing to prevent cracking during dipping.
05 -
Gently melt green candy melts using a double boiler over low heat or microwave at defrost power in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently to avoid overheating.
06 -
Dip chilled balls into melted candy using a fork or toothpick, tap off excess coating, and place back on parchment. Drizzle extra melted candy if desired, then immediately top each with a red candy heart before the coating sets.
07 -
Refrigerate dipped treats until the coating fully hardens. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. Serve chilled on a festive tray.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Ensure cream cheese is softened for easier mixing.
02 -
Pulse Oreos to a fine crumb to ensure even texture.
03 -
Use defrost power when microwaving candy melts to avoid overheating.
