Ingredients
- 1 (13-ounce) package Golden Oreos, not double stuffed. About 36 oreos
- Red food coloring
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
- 3 cups light green candy melts
- large red heart sprinkles, for decorating
Instructions
- Add 1 (13-ounce) package golden Oreos, to a large food processor and pulse until you have fine crumbs.
- Add 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese and mix until fully combined. Add about ½ teaspoon of red food coloring and mix until combined, adding a few more drops to get a rich red color.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to scoop out 1 ½-inch portions and roll them into balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and cover it with plastic wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for about 1 hour.
- Add 3 cups light green candy melts to a microwave-safe bowl and heat them in 30-second increments with the microwave at 50% power. Stir well between each increment.
- Use a fork to dip each ball into the candy melts and tap off the excess. Then, carefully slide the dipped ball onto a clean, parchment-lined baking sheet. Place a large red heart sprinkles, on top while the chocolate is still wet.
- Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
