Let’s Make it Together

Start by crushing your Oreos into fine crumbs using a food processor or placing them in a sealed zip-top bag and smashing them with a rolling pin until finely crushed. The goal is to have a sandy texture that’ll hold together beautifully.

Next up, combine those Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese in a large mixing bowl. Mix until well incorporated; it should resemble cookie dough—the kind that makes you want to sneak tastes (not that I’m encouraging it).

Now comes the fun part: using your hands (yes, get messy!) roll small portions of the mixture into balls about one inch in diameter. Place these on a parchment-lined baking sheet to set while you prepare your coating.

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt your white chocolate chips along with coconut oil on low heat. Stir often until smooth and glossy—this is where patience pays off!

Once melted, dip each truffle ball into the white chocolate mixture using forks or toothpicks until fully coated. Let any excess drip back into the bowl before transferring them back to the lined baking sheet.

Finally, while the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle those vibrant green sprinkles over each truffle so they look as festive as can be! Place them in the fridge for about 30 minutes to set completely.

And there you have it! Your No-Bake Grinch Oreo Truffles are ready to impress at any holiday gathering or cozy night in. Enjoy sharing this sweet treat or keep them all for yourself—no one will judge!
