Place the Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they’re finely ground.

Pro tip: If you don’t have a food processor, put the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin until they’re crumbs. Make sure they’re evenly crushed for smooth Oreo balls.

Transfer the crushed Oreos to a mixing bowl.

Add the softened cream cheese.

Use a spatula or your hands to mix until fully combined and smooth. The mixture should hold together without being sticky.

Pro tip: Chill the mixture for 10–15 minutes if it feels too soft — it makes rolling easier.

Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into 1-inch balls using your hands.

Place each ball on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes so they firm up.

Melt the white chocolate or candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.

Stir in green food coloring until you get the perfect Grinch green.

Pro tip: Whisk continuously to prevent lumps and ensure a smooth coating.

Using a fork or spoon, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the green chocolate, fully coating it.

Let the excess chocolate drip off, then place the coated ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.

Once the coating is slightly set but still soft, use mini chocolate chips or black decorating gel to create Grinch eyes and a mischievous smile.

Optionally, add red and white sprinkles for a Santa hat effect.

Let the chocolate fully harden at room temperature or in the fridge.

Once fully set, transfer your Grinch Oreo balls to a serving plate.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
