Ingredients for the No Bake Grinch Oreo Truffles

Here’s what you’ll need to create your own holiday magic (full measurements in the recipe card):

  • Red Velvet Oreos: Their cocoa flavor and gorgeous red center make the inside of the truffles taste as special as the season.
  • Cream Cheese: Acts as the “glue” and gives every bite that creamy, decadent texture.
  • Green Candy Melts: That iconic Grinchy green coat! It’s not Christmas without it.
  • Red Heart Sprinkles: Because of course his heart grew—these truffles make mine grow too.

How to Make These No Bake Grinch Oreo Truffles

Take a deep breath. You’re about to make a treat that’s as fun to create as it is to devour.

1. Prep the Baking Sheet

Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. This keeps the truffles from sticking while they chill.

2. Crush Those Oreos

Place the Red Velvet Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they turn into fine crumbs.
(A few chunks are okay—think “rustic charm.”)

3. Mix With Cream Cheese

Add softened cream cheese to the crumbs and blend again. You’ll get a soft dough that smells like a holiday hug.

4. Roll Into Balls

Scoop out the dough and roll it between your palms to form smooth, round truffle balls.
Place them on your prepared baking sheet and chill in the freezer until firm.

5. Dip & Decorate

Melt the green candy melts in the microwave in short intervals, stirring between each.
Using a dipping fork, coat each chilled truffle completely, then set it back on the baking sheet.
Pipe extra melted candy on top for a drizzle effect and finish with a red heart sprinkle—Grinch glam in one step.

Chill, serve, enjoy, repeat.

Kitchen Tips From Aneta

  • Melting candy melts too thick? Stir in a tiny bit of coconut oil. It thins them like magic.
  • Hands getting messy while rolling? Lightly dust them with powdered sugar. Works like a charm.
  • Don’t panic if the coating looks lumpy. The Grinch wasn’t smooth either—embrace the whimsy!
  • Make ahead tip: These store beautifully, which means holiday party stress just went down a notch.

A little personal story: the first time I made these, my kids declared them “the cutest things ever created” and promptly ate six. Now they’ve become our yearly baking tradition—even if I do half the work while they steal sprinkles.

FAQs About No Bake Grinch Oreo Truffles

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Red Velvet?

Yes! They work beautifully—though the Red Velvet ones add a richer flavor and a fun red interior.

How do I store leftover No Bake Grinch Oreo Truffles?

Keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months.

Can I melt white chocolate instead of green candy melts?

Absolutely. Just tint the white chocolate with oil-based green coloring so it doesn’t seize.
