- 1 package Mint Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 12 oz white or dark chocolate, melted (for coating)
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chocolate drizzle for decoration
- Using a food processor or a sealed bag and a rolling pin, crush the Mint Oreos into fine crumbs.
- In a large bowl, mix the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or spatula to combine until smooth.
- Roll the Oreo-cream cheese mixture into 1-inch balls and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15 minutes to firm up the truffles.
- Melt your chocolate in 30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between. Add green food coloring to white chocolate for a festive look.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Use a fork to lift the truffles and let excess chocolate drip off.
- Before the chocolate sets, decorate with crushed Oreos, sprinkles, or a drizzle of extra chocolate.
- Refrigerate the truffles again for 15-20 minutes until the chocolate hardens.
- Once the chocolate has set, enjoy your Mint Oreo Truffles! Serve chilled.
Notes
- Chocolate Coating: Use dark, milk, or white chocolate to coat the truffles for different flavors.
- Mint Chocolate: For extra minty flavor, use mint chocolate for the coating.
- Add-ins: Add crushed peppermint candies, mini marshmallows, or nuts for added texture.
- Dairy-Free: Swap cream cheese for dairy-free alternatives and use dairy-free chocolate.
