Ingredients
For the Truffle Filling
36 mint-flavored Oreo cookies (about 1 standard package)
8 oz (225 g) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
½ teaspoon peppermint extract (optional, for extra mint flavor)
For the Chocolate Coating
12 oz (340 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips (or candy melts)
1 tablespoon coconut oil or vegetable shortening (for smoother coating)
For Decoration (Optional)
Crushed mint Oreos (for garnish)
Green candy melts or white chocolate (for drizzle)
Edible glitter or green sprinkles (for festive touch)
Instructions
Prepare the Oreos:
Pulse mint Oreos in a food processor until finely crushed. If no food processor is available, crush them in a zip-top bag using a rolling pin. Set aside a few crumbs for garnish.
Mix with Cream Cheese:
Add softened cream cheese and peppermint extract to the crushed Oreos. Mix with a hand mixer or spatula until fully blended into a thick, dough-like texture.
Shape the Truffles:
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Roll 1-tablespoon portions of dough into smooth balls. Place on the baking sheet and chill for 30 minutes (or 15 minutes in the freezer).
Melt the Chocolate:
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt chocolate and coconut oil in 20–30 second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Avoid overheating.
Coat the Truffles:
Dip chilled truffles into melted chocolate using a fork or dipping tool. Let excess chocolate drip off, then place truffles back on parchment paper. Decorate immediately if desired.
Set the Truffles:
Chill coated truffles for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate hardens completely. Enjoy once set or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Always chill the dough before coating for a smooth shape and clean dipping process.
Finely crush the Oreos for the creamiest filling texture.
Use high-quality chocolate for the richest flavor.
Decorate while the chocolate is still wet so toppings adhere well.
For best presentation, serve truffles in mini paper cups or arrange on a decorative platter.
