Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups white chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup sweetened condensed milk
  • Green food coloring (gel-based, a few drops)
  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers
  • Red sprinkles or small red candies for decoration
  • Optional: ¼ teaspoon mint extract or 8-10 crushed mints

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Melt the White Chocolate and Butter
    Place white chocolate chips and butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted and smooth. This creates the creamy base for your truffles.
  2. Step 2: Mix in Sweetened Condensed Milk and Food Coloring
    Slowly stir in the sweetened condensed milk until fully combined. Add green food coloring a few drops at a time, mixing well until you reach a vibrant Grinch green hue. Ensure the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Step 3: Add Crushed Graham Crackers
    Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers to introduce a subtle crunch and help the truffles hold their shape.
  4. Step 4: Chill the Mixture
    Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes or until the mixture firms up enough to handle without sticking to your fingers.
  5. Step 5: Shape and Decorate
    Use a spoon or small cookie scoop to form truffle balls. Place them on parchment-lined trays. While still slightly soft, press red sprinkles or small candies on top to mimic the Grinch’s Santa hat accents.
  6. Step 6: Final Chill
    Refrigerate the shaped truffles for another 10-15 minutes until fully set. Once firm, they are ready to serve or package as gifts.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure even melting and prevent clumping.
  • If the mixture is too soft when shaping, refrigerate longer to achieve the right consistency.
  • Add food coloring gradually to control the intensity of the green color perfectly.
  • Customize decorations with edible glitter or colored sugar for extra sparkle.
  • Shape the truffles promptly after chilling since white chocolate sets quickly.
