Ingredients

Instructions

  • Crush the Oreo cookies into a fine crumb using either a food processor or by placing the cookies in a plastic bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
  • Combine the cookie crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Stir in the peppermint extract if you want.
  • Using a small cookie scoop, scoop the cookie crumb/cream cheese mixture into round balls and place on a tray.
  • Place the Oreo truffles in the freezer for about 30 minutes before dipping in the melted chocolate.
  • In a microwave-proof bowl, melt the candy melts according to the package directions.
  • Add the paramount crystals and stir until dissolved. This will thin out the chocolate so that it goes farther.
  • Drop the cookie balls, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. Use a spoon to move the ball around a bit making sure it's completely covered in the melted chocolate. Scoop the ball out and set on the tray.
  • Before the chocolate begins to set or harden, sprinkled the crushed peppermint candies on top.
  • Allow the cookie balls to set completely before serving.

Notes

Tips:

  • Use the whole Oreo cookie, including the cream filling, for the best texture and flavor.
  • Chill the cookie balls in the freezer for at least 30 minutes before dipping so they stay firm and don’t fall apart in the warm chocolate.
  • Make sure the chocolate is smooth and easy to dip for an even coating.

Storage and Make Ahead

  • Store finished truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them firm.
  • The cookie balls can be made ahead and refrigerated or frozen, then dipped in melted chocolate the next day.
  • For best results, wait to dip the truffles until just before serving or gifting.
