No Bake Grinch Truffles
These Grinch truffles are made with Golden Oreos, cream cheese, and a green candy coating, finished with a red heart on top. They're easy to make and great for holiday trays or gifting.
Ingredients
- 1 (13.29 ounce) package of Golden Oreos 33 cookies (not Thins or Double Stuffed)
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese softened (1 block)
- 3 cups light green candy melts about 1 pound
- 2 teaspoons vegetable shortening
- 30 red heart sprinkles
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- Pulse the Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor.
- Add the Oreo crumbs and cream cheese to a large bowl. Beat the crushed cookies and cream cheese with an electric mixer until the cream cheese is evenly distributed throughout the cookies and the mixture is smooth.
- Roll 1 tablespoon scoops of the mixture into balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Freeze for at least 30 minutes or until firm.
- Add the candy melts and shortening to a microwave-safe bowl and microwave in 20-second increments at 50% power until smooth.
- Use a fork to dip the frozen truffle balls in the candy melts one at a time. Return the dipped truffles to the baking tray.
- Once the truffles have been dipped, add the leftover candy melts to a small piping bag with a small tip. Drizzle the leftover candy melts over the truffles and immediately add a heart sprinkle to the top of each.
- Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes or until the candy coating is set.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
- The truffles can be frozen for up to three months. Place a piece of parchment paper between the layers before freezing to prevent them from sticking together. Thaw the truffles in the refrigerator before enjoying them.
