Grinch Christmas Truffles

No-bake, creamy, and delightfully festive—perfect for gifts, parties, or holiday snacking!

Yield: ~24 truffles | Prep Time: 20 min | Chill + Set Time: 50 min


Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

  • 2 cups powdered sugar

  • 2 cups crushed graham crackers (or vanilla wafers/digestive biscuits)

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips, melted

  • Green gel food coloring

  • Red candy melts, for heart decoration


Instructions

Step 1 – Make the Base:

  • Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually mix in powdered sugar.

Step 2 – Add the Crunch:

  • Stir in crushed graham crackers until a soft, slightly sticky dough forms.

Step 3 – Chill the Dough:

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes to make rolling easier.

Step 4 – Roll Truffles:

  • Line a tray with parchment. Scoop ~1 tbsp portions, roll into smooth 1-inch balls, and freeze 30 minutes.

Step 5 – Melt the Chocolate:

  • Melt white chocolate chips gently (microwave in 20-second bursts or double boiler). Stir in green gel coloring until vibrant.

Step 6 – Dip the Truffles:

  • Submerge chilled truffle balls into green chocolate, tap off excess, and place on parchment.

Step 7 – Add Heart Decoration:

  • Melt red candy melts. Pipe small hearts on top of each truffle using a zip-top bag or toothpick.

Step 8 – Set:

  • Allow chocolate to harden at room temperature (~1 hour) or refrigerate for ~15 minutes.

Notes

  • Use gel or oil-based coloring—liquid can seize chocolate.

  • Chill dough thoroughly to prevent sticky, messy truffles.

  • If chocolate thickens while dipping, microwave 10 seconds and stir.
