Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 package 13-ounce package golden Oreos Not double stuffed, about 36 Oreos
- 1 package 8-ounce package cream cheese Use at room temperature for a smoother texture
- ½ teaspoon red food coloring Adjust the color as desired
- 3 cups light green candy melts Use in melting process for coating
- to taste large red heart sprinkles For decorating
Instructions
Preparation
- Add the golden Oreos to a large food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Add the cream cheese to the crumbs and mix until fully combined.
- Add about ½ teaspoon of red food coloring and mix until combined, adjusting as necessary.
- Using a medium cookie scoop, take out 1 ½-inch portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, then cover with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, add the light green candy melts. Heat in the microwave in 30-second increments at 50% power, stirring well between each increment until melted.
- Use a fork to dip each chilled ball into the melted candy, tapping off the excess. Carefully slide the dipped ball onto a clean, parchment-lined baking sheet.
- While the chocolate is still wet, place a large red heart sprinkle on top.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
Notes
These make great gifts when packaged nicely. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze before dipping.
