Preparation

• Place the entire package of Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until finely ground into uniform crumbs. Alternatively, crush them with a rolling pin in a Ziploc bag.
• In a medium bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese, mixing thoroughly until a thick, pliable dough forms.
• Roll the mixture into small, 1-inch diameter, bite-sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
• Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm, to help them hold their shape.
• Melt the green candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl according to package directions, stirring frequently. If using white chocolate, melt it gently and stir in oil-based green food coloring until the desired Grinch green is achieved.
• Using a fork or dipping tool, carefully dip each chilled truffle into the melted green candy coating, tapping off any excess.
• Place the dipped truffle back on the parchment-lined baking sheet and immediately press one small red candy heart onto each truffle before the coating sets.
• Allow the truffles to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes in the fridge.
