Deliciously creamy and minty Oreo truffles coated in smooth white or dark chocolate, perfect bite-sized treats for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Truffle Base

  • 1 package Mint Oreo cookies
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened

Coating and Decoration

  • 12 oz white or dark chocolate, melted (for coating)
  • Green food coloring (optional, for white chocolate)
  • Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chocolate drizzle for decoration

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos: Use a food processor or place the Mint Oreos in a sealed bag and crush them into fine crumbs using a rolling pin to create a uniform texture for the truffles.
  2. Mix with Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is fully combined and smooth, creating a firm yet creamy base.
  3. Shape the Truffles: Roll the mixture into small balls about 1-inch in diameter. Place these balls evenly spaced on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes, or alternatively freeze for 15 minutes, to firm up the mixture before coating.
  5. Melt the Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white or dark chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until completely smooth. If using white chocolate, add green food coloring to tint it.
  6. Coat the Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle ball into the melted chocolate, making sure to cover it evenly. Lift them out with a fork and let excess chocolate drip off before placing them back onto the parchment-lined tray.
  7. Decorate: Before the chocolate coating sets, decorate the truffles with sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or use a drizzle of extra melted chocolate for added flair.
  8. Chill Again: Return the coated truffles to the refrigerator until the chocolate has completely hardened, ensuring a crisp finish.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once set, serve these delightful mint Oreo truffles as delicious bite-sized treats perfect for any sweet craving.

Notes

  • For an extra minty kick, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Ensure the cream cheese is fully softened for easier mixing and smoother texture.
  • Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
  • Use a fork or dipping tool when coating to keep hands clean and ensure even chocolate coverage.
  • Try different decorations like crushed candy canes for a festive twist.
