Step 1: Prepare the Filling

1. Crush the Oreos
   • Place the Oreo cookies (including the filling) in a food processor or blender. Pulse until the cookies are finely crushed into crumbs.
2. Mix with Cream Cheese
   • In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos and softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to blend until smooth and well combined.
3. Shape the Balls
   • Scoop out small portions of the mixture (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
4. Chill the Balls
   • Refrigerate the Oreo balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm.

Step 2: Prepare the Coating

1. Melt the Chocolate
   • In a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler, melt the green candy melts or white chocolate. If using white chocolate, stir in green food coloring to achieve a vibrant Grinch-green color.
2. Dip the Oreo Balls
   • Using a dipping fork or spoon, coat each Oreo ball in the melted chocolate. Tap off the excess and place the coated ball back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Decorate While Wet
   • Before the chocolate hardens, press a red heart sprinkle or crushed red Oreo piece onto each ball for the Grinch’s heart. Add green sprinkles or edible pearls if desired.

Step 3: Set and Serve

1. Chill the Coated Balls
   • Place the decorated Oreo balls in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
2. Serve
   • Arrange the Grinch Oreo Balls on a festive platter and enjoy!
