Christmas Grinch Poop Recipe Step-By-Step With Pictures
Grinch poo, (aka: Grinch Oreo truffles) are fun holiday recipes to make with kids or for Grinch-themed Christmas party treat bags!
Step 1: Crush the Oreo cookies.
This is my daughter’s favorite step! Anytime she gets to hammer some food with a wood mallet, she’s in! (This is even an easy food craft to make with a group of kids.)
To easily crush cookies, place them inside a sealable bag. Then roll them with a rolling pin or smash them with wood mallets. (We use our crab mallets like this.)
This really is a fun step for kids, so get them involved!
Step 2: Make the cookie balls.
Using your hands, roll the cookie and icing mixture into small balls.
If you’re cookie balls are falling apart easily, add a little more icing to get them to stick together.
Place them on a cooking sheets lined with wax paper and put them in the freezer to harden.
RECIPE TIP: Freeze the cookie balls so that they hold together when you dip them in the chocolate! You’ll need to work quickly so your cookie balls don’t fall apart in the melted chocolate!
Step 3: Melt your Grinch green chocolate.
Melt your green chocolate melts. We use these chocolate melts and find that they work well and set fast / harden fast).
RECIPE TIP: When working with melted chocolate we use mini crockpots like this. It keeps the chocolate melted the entire time and it’s great for recipes with kids!
Step 4: Make the Grinch poo.
Dip your frozen cookie bites into the melted chocolate. Coat completely.
RECIPE TIP: Remove only a few of the frozen cookie balls from the freezer at a time. This will help the cookie balls stay together when you dip them into the green melted chocolate.

How To Make Grinch Poop
RECIPE TIP: You can also make this as reindeer poop or snowman poop. Just change the chocolate melts to red instead of green for reindeer poo or white chocolate for snowman poo. You can also call them Elf Poop if you have an elf theme, using them for the Elf movie party, or you want to use them as an Elf On The Shelf activity!

Grinch Poop Recipe
Ingredients
- 10 regular Oreo cookies crushed into small pieces (not Double Stuff)
- 1/2 cup Green Wilton's Melts
- 1/4 cup white vanilla icing icing in the tub
Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, place crushed Oreos and white vanilla icing. Mix by hand. Your Oreo/icing mixture should hold together when you make it into a ball, so you may need to add a little more icing.
- Form the mixture into small balls. (Kids love this part!) Place them on the lined baking sheet.
- When all the cookie mixture is formed into small balls, place the cookie balls in the freezer for at least an hour. (You can even leave them overnight.)
- When ready to make the poo: Melt the green Wilton's melts according to the package directions. (Microwave for 30 seconds at a time until melted.)*
- Remove cookie balls from the freezer. One at a time, place the cookie Oreo balls into the melted green chocolate. Use a fork to roll the cookie ball in the green chocolate. Tap the fork on the side of the dish to remove the excess melted chocolate from the balls before placing it on the wax paper to set.
- Use your fork to make a swirl at the top for a "poo" look.
- Continue until all cookie balls have been dipped into the green chocolate and placed on the lined cookie sheet to set completely.
- Once set, store in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 3 months.
