Peppermint Oreo Truffles
These festive peppermint Oreo truffles are simple, no-bake cookie balls made with Oreos, cream cheese, raspberry chocolate, and plenty of crushed peppermints.
Servings: 48 servings
Ingredients
- 3 candy canes chopped
- 8 ounces cream cheese block softened
- 36 Oreo cookies finely crushed into cookie crumbs
- ¾ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 packages (10-ounces each) chocolate melting wafers melted
Instructions
- Prep. Line two cookie sheets with wax paper and set aside.
- Combine. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cookie crumbs, and peppermint extract; mix with a spoon until well blended. Taste and add more peppermint if you like.
- Shape and freeze. Shape the cookie-dough into 1-inch balls and place them on the lined cookie sheets. Freeze for 10 to 15 minutes, or until firm.
- Add the chocolate and set. Dip the cookie balls in the melted chocolate. Then, place each cookie ball in a single layer on the cookie sheets. Sprinkle with crushed candy. Refrigerate for 1 hour, or until firm, before serving. Keep refrigerated.
Notes
- To easily coat the truffles with the melted chocolate, add the cookie balls in batches to the bowl of melted chocolate. Use 2 forks to roll the Oreo balls in chocolate until evenly coated. Remove them with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place the truffles in the prepared pan; let stand until the chocolate coating is firm.
