Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It is easy to make – You can make these in just minutes and you have an adorable and fun Grinch treat.
- It is delicious – If you’ve never tried regular Oreo Balls, you are in for a real treat!
What You Need to Make Grinch Oreo Balls
- Oreos – I used regular but you can even use the red velvet and make the inside red.
- Vibrant Green Candy Melts – These are easier to work with than coloring white chocolate chips
- Cream Cheese, room temperature
- Coconut Oil
- Large Red Heart Sprinkles – I prefer this kind.
Helpful Tips
- If your chocolate starts to get “gloppy” part way through dipping your balls, simply reheat for a few seconds and add just a dab of coconut oil.
- If you have trouble with your balls coming off the toothpick, use a secondary toothpick to guide it onto the sheet.
- If you have chocolate missing in some places, simply use a toothpick to fill in missing gaps. The goal is to not have any Oreo mixture showing through.
- If your chocolate drizzle dries too quickly for your hearts to adhere, simply add a dab of the chocolate to the back of the heart and secure it to the Oreo ball.
- Don’t make your balls too big or they will be difficult to dip and handle. I wouldn’t go any bigger than an inch in size.

Ingredients
- 36 Oreos

- Add the coconut oil to the chocolate and stir well. If it still seems a little thick, add more coconut oil.
- Place the chocolate in a small jar or cup and use the toothpicks to dip each ball in chocolate, completely coating them. Tap them on the edge of the cup gently to remove excess chocolate and place them back on the cookie sheet.
- Chill for about 10 minutes or until hardened.
