Ingredients
- 24.4 ounces Red Velvet Oreos (2 packages, 44 cookies total)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 15 ounces light green candy melts
- Red candy hearts
Instructions
- Prepare the Oreo mixture: Place the Red Velvet Oreos into a food processor and pulse until the cookies are finely crushed into crumbs.
- Mix with cream cheese: Add the softened cream cheese to the Oreo crumbs. Mix until fully combined and the mixture forms a dough-like consistency.
- Form the balls: Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill the balls: Refrigerate the Oreo balls for 30 minutes, or until firm.
- Melt the candy melts: Melt the light green candy melts in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth.
- Coat the Oreo balls: Dip each ball into the melted candy melts, coating them completely. Lift with a fork and tap off any excess coating.
- Add the candy heart: Before the coating sets, place a red candy heart on top of each Oreo ball.
- Let them set: Return the Oreo balls to the baking sheet and let them set for 10-15 minutes, or until the candy coating has hardened.
Notes
- Flavor Variations: Use regular Oreos or other flavors instead of red velvet Oreos for a different twist.
- Decorative Options: Add holiday sprinkles or edible glitter on top for extra festivity.
- Candy Coating Options: You can substitute the green candy melts with white chocolate or any other candy melt color.
