Ingredients
- 36 Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ½ teaspoon peppermint extract can add up to 1 teaspoon if you want more peppermint flavor
- 16 ounces white milk or dark chocolate melting wafers, I use Ghiradelli (can also use chocolate chips)
- 3 Crushed candy canes or add sprinkles for tops
Instructions
- Pulse Oreo cookies in a food processor until cookies are crumbs.
- Add cream cheese and peppermint extract and pulse until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
- Using a cookie scoop or a spoon, scoop some dough into your hands and roll one-inch balls and place balls on cookie sheet.
- Place the truffle balls in the freezer until well chilled, at least 15 minutes to an hour.
- Melt the chocolate melts in microwave in 30-second intervals until melted and smooth. Stir in between each interval.
- Remove Oreo cookie truffles from freezer and one at a time, dip the balls into the chocolate and gently remove using a fork. Shake off the excess chocolate and place back onto the tray.
- Top with crushed candy canes or sprinkles.
- Transfer truffles to refrigerator for 1 hour to set.
