Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package Mint Oreo cookies
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 cups chocolate chips (for melting)
- 1 tablespoon peppermint extract (optional)
- Sprinkles or crushed Oreos (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- Crush the Mint Oreo cookies using a food processor or a ziplock bag with a rolling pin until fine crumbs.
- Mix the cookie crumbs with softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl until well combined. If desired, add peppermint extract.
- Roll the mixture into balls, about 1-inch in diameter, and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze the balls for about 30 minutes until firm.
- Melt the chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler in 30-second intervals, stirring frequently.
- Dip each truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated, and let excess chocolate drip off.
- Decorate with sprinkles or crushed Oreos before the chocolate sets.
- Let the chocolate harden before serving. Optionally, refrigerate for a few minutes to speed up the process.
Notes
Keep truffles in the refrigerator to maintain their shape. They can also be frozen for up to three months.
