Ingredients

  • 12 oz white or dark chocolate, melted (for coating)

  • Green food coloring (optional)

  • Sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or chocolate drizzle for decoration

Tip: You can find a list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.

Instructions

  1. Crush the Oreos
    Using a food processor or a sealed bag with a rolling pin, crush the Mint Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. This forms the base for the truffle mixture.

  2. Mix with Cream Cheese
    In a large bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or a hand mixer to mix until smooth and well-combined. This creates a creamy filling that binds the truffles together.

  3. Shape the Truffles
    Roll the Oreo and cream cheese mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place each truffle on a parchment-lined baking sheet. This will prevent sticking and make for easy cleanup.

  4. Chill
    Refrigerate the truffles for at least 30 minutes, or freeze them for 15 minutes. This will firm them up and make them easier to dip in chocolate.

  5. Melt the Chocolate
    In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring each time until smooth. If you’re using white chocolate, you can add green food coloring to make the truffles extra festive.

  6. Coat the Truffles
    Once the truffles are chilled, dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are evenly coated. Use a fork to lift the truffles out of the chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.

  7. Decorate
    Before the chocolate coating sets, you can decorate your truffles with sprinkles, crushed Oreos, or a drizzle of extra chocolate. Get creative with your toppings for a fun and personalized touch.

  8. Chill Again
    Place the decorated truffles back in the fridge to allow the chocolate to harden. This usually takes about 15-20 minutes.

  9. Serve and Enjoy
    Once the chocolate has fully set, your Mint Oreo Truffles are ready to enjoy! Serve them chilled for a refreshing treat.

Variations

  • Chocolate Coating: If you prefer, you can use dark chocolate or milk chocolate for a richer flavor. For a twist, try using mint chocolate for an extra layer of minty goodness.

  • Add-ins: Mix in some crushed peppermint candies or a dash of peppermint extract for an extra burst of mint flavor.

  • Decoration: Get creative with your toppings! Use different types of sprinkles, drizzle with caramel or fudge sauce, or top with festive colored sugar for holidays.

Heating/Storage

  • Storage: Keep the truffles stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. They can also be stored in the freezer for longer storage.

  • Reheating: These truffles are best enjoyed chilled, but if you prefer a slightly softer texture, you can allow them to sit at room temperature for a few minutes before serving.
