Ingredients

  • 1 16 oz. package regular Oreo cookies
  • 1 8 oz. package cream cheese
  • 1 1/2 teas. peppermint extract
  • 8 oz. melting chocolate, candy coat, OR almond bark (melted)

Instructions

 

  1. Crush (whole) Oreos into fine crumbs; place in medium bowl.
  2. Add cream cheese and peppermint extract to the crushed Oreos; mix until well blended.
  3. Refrigerate mixture until firm, about one hour.
  4. Roll cookie mixture into balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
  5. Dip balls in chocolate/candy melt/almond bark; place on wax paper.
  6. Sprinkle with crushed candy canes immediately after placing on wax paper.
  7. Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
  8. Store truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
  9. Yields about 20-30 truffles.

NOTES:
• Add 1/2 teas. to 1 teas. more peppermint extract for more peppermint flavor
• If you want a drier consistency for the truffle filling, use 4 oz. of cream cheese. You can add more cream cheese, ounce by ounce, to get your desired consistency.
• To help prevent the Oreo mixture from mixing into the white chocolate/candy coat, melt small batches of chocolate/candy coat at a time.
