Equipment

  • microwave
  • Food Processor

Ingredients

  • 38 Oreo cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese – softened
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract
  • 1 pound white candy melts or almond bark
  • 2 tbsp crushed peppermint candies for topping

Instructions

Truffles

  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
  • Using a food processor or large resealable bag and a rolling pin, crush the cookies into fine crumbs.
  • Add the cream cheese and peppermint extract to the food processor with the crumbs and pulse several times until well combined.
  • Using a small cookie dough scoop, separate out into 48 portions and then form each into a ball.
  • Roll the ball between your hands until it’s smooth.
  • Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, longer is fine. You can also pop them in the freezer if you have space.

Coating

  • Place the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl.
  • Start heating it in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute on 50% power, stir the chocolate.
  • Continue to heat in 30 second intervals – still at 50% power, stirring after each time. Stop when there are a few bits of chocolate left, then stir until completely melted.
  • Using a fork, dip a chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate and tap off the excess.
  • Place the chocolate-coated truffle on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Sprinkle with the crushed peppermint candies.
  • Let harden for about 10-15 minutes.
  • Repeat with another layer of melted chocolate if necessary or desired before decorating with the cany pieces.
  • Let harden before serving.
  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
