Ingredients

• 36 Oreo cookies (regular, not double-stuffed)
• 8 oz cream cheese, softened
• 12 oz green candy melts (or white chocolate dyed with green food coloring)
• Red heart sprinkles (or red M&M minis)
• Optional: 1 tsp coconut oil (helps thin the candy melts for dipping)

Instructions

1. Crush the Cookies
Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. (Or crush in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin.)

2. Mix the Filling
In a mixing bowl, combine Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese until smooth and dough-like.

3. Shape & Chill
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the freezer for 30–60 minutes until firm.

4. Melt the Coating
Melt green candy melts (or dyed white chocolate) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Add a little coconut oil if too thick.

5. Dip & Decorate
Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place back on parchment and top with a red candy heart before the coating sets.

6. Chill & Serve
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to fully set. Serve chilled or store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Tips for Success

• Freeze Before Dipping: Makes it easier to coat without crumbs falling into the chocolate.
• Thin Chocolate as Needed: A teaspoon of coconut oil helps create a smoother dip.

• Make Ahead: These store well for 4–5 days in the fridge or up to 2 months in the freezer.
