Recipe Card

Servings: 24 truffles
Estimated Cost: $7–9
Prep Time: 20 minutes
Chill Time: 20–30 minutes
Calories: ~120 per truffle

Ingredients

  • 1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies
  • 1 (8 oz) block cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz bright green candy melts
  • Red heart sprinkles
  • Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Make the Oreo mixture:
    Crush Oreos in a food processor until fine. Add cream cheese and vanilla, then blend until smooth and fully combined.
  2. Shape the truffles:
    Roll into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze 20–30 minutes until firm.
  3. Melt the coating:
    Melt green candy melts in 20–30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
  4. Dip the truffles:
    Using a fork, dip each chilled truffle into the melted coating. Let excess drip off, then place back on the tray.
  5. Decorate:
    Add one red heart sprinkle to each truffle while the coating is still wet.
  6. Chill:
    Refrigerate 10–15 minutes to set.

Note

If your melted coating is too thick, stir in ½–1 tsp coconut oil to thin it for smooth dipping.

Tasty Twists

  • Minty Grinch: Add ½ tsp peppermint extract to the Oreo mixture.
  • Double Chocolate: Use fudge-striped or chocolate-stuffed Oreos.
  • Crunchy Outside: Drizzle with white chocolate or add crushed candy cane dust.

FAQ

Can I use white chocolate instead of candy melts?

Yes, just color it with oil-based green food coloring (water-based will cause seizing).

Do these need refrigeration?

Yes — store in the fridge up to 5 days.

Can I freeze them?

Absolutely! Freeze up to 2 months and thaw in the fridge.

What if I don’t have a food processor?

Crush Oreos in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin, then mix by hand.
