Ingredients
Oreo cookies (regular) – 16 oz package
Cream cheese (softened) – 8 oz
Peppermint extract – 1 1/2 tsp
Melting chocolate or almond bark – 8 oz
Candy canes (crushed for garnish) – 2-3 pieces
Instructions
Pulse whole Oreos in a food processor until they reach a fine crumb consistency.
In a medium bowl, combine Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peppermint extract. Mix until no white streaks remain.
Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 1 hour to firm up for easier rolling.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Melt the chocolate coating in 30-second intervals in the microwave until smooth.
Using a fork, dip each ball into the chocolate, let the excess drip off, and place on wax paper.
Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy canes before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
• Add 1/2 tsp to 1 tsp more peppermint extract if you prefer a very strong mint flavor.
• For a drier, fudgier truffle, reduce the cream cheese to 4 oz and add more slowly if needed.
• To prevent Oreo crumbs from bleeding into your white chocolate, melt and dip in small batches.
