Ingredients
10regular Oreo cookiescrushed into small pieces (not Double Stuff)
1/2cupGreen Wilton's Melts
1/4cupwhite vanilla icingicing 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.
Notes
If you find that the cookie balls are falling apart easily in the melted chocolate, place them back in the freezer and only take out a few at a time. Work as quickly as you can! Once the cookie balls start to get warm they will easily melt in the hot chocolate and your cookie balls will crumble.*SEE THE RECIPE TIP IN THE POST FOR WHAT WE USE FOR MELTED CHOCOLATE RECIPES! SCROLL UP!We made our Grinch Poo balls pretty small and we got about 20 out of this recipe. The amount you get may vary based on how fine you crush your Oreo cookies and how big or small you make the cookie balls.
