Grinch Christmas Truffles

Step 1

Place the oreos in a food processor or blender and crush completely into crumbs, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 2

Pour the crumbs into a large mixing bowl and stir in the cream cheese spread until a thick mixture forms. You may want to use your clean hands to make this easier.

Step 3

Scoop the mixture into balls using a 1 ½ Tablespoons cookie scoop and roll them smooth.

Step 4

Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Step 5

Place the balls in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to an hour or until firm.

Step 6

Once you are ready to decorate your Grinch Truffles, place the vanilla almond bark in a medium sized, microwave bowl.

Step 7

Microwave for 1 minute and then stir well.

Step 8

Continue to microwave in 15-30 second increments until the almond bark is completely melted. This should take about 2 minutes total. Be sure to stir in between each heating so that the bark doesn’t seize up.

Step 9

Add in your desired amount of green gel food coloring and stir until you have your desired color. Do not use liquid food coloring or the almond bark will seize.

Step 10

Dip the truffle balls, one by one, in the melted almond bark until fully covered.

Step 11

Allow the excess coating to drip off and then replace them on the parchment paper.

Step 12

Place a heart sprinkle onto each of the truffles while the coating is still soft and then return the truffles to the refrigerator for an additional 30 minutes to an hour, or until the coating is fully hardened.

Step 13

Serve cold or at room temperature.
