Mint Oreo Truffles (Printer-friendly)

Bite-sized chocolate treats blending mint Oreos with cream cheese, coated in dark chocolate.

# What You'll Need:

→ Truffles

01 - 36 mint-flavored Oreo cookies
02 - 8 oz cream cheese, softened

→ Coating

03 - 12 oz dark chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate, chopped

→ Garnish

04 - 2-3 mint Oreo cookies, finely crushed
05 - 1 tbsp white chocolate, melted for drizzling

# How To Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking during the chilling and coating process.
02 - Place mint Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until reduced to fine crumbs. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for optional garnish.
03 - Add softened cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Pulse until fully combined into a thick, uniform dough that holds together when pressed.
04 - Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
05 - Freeze the balls for 30 minutes until firm to the touch, ensuring they hold their shape during dipping.
06 - Melt chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl using 30-second intervals, stirring between each session until completely smooth and fluid.
07 - Using two forks, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, then return to the baking sheet.
08 - Immediately sprinkle with reserved crushed cookies or drizzle with melted white chocolate before the coating sets.
09 - Refrigerate truffles for at least 30 minutes until the chocolate coating is completely firm and set.
10 - Serve chilled or allow to come to room temperature for 10-15 minutes before serving. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • These come together in under 30 minutes of active work and vanish even faster
  • The combination of cool mint and rich dark chocolate hits that sweet spot between refreshing and decadent
  • They look impressive plated up but require zero actual baking skill
02 -
  • If your truffles start softening while dipping, return the whole sheet to the freezer for 15 minutes and continue coating
  • Regular Oreos work with half a teaspoon of peppermint extract, but the mint ones have that perfect intensity already built in
  • These freeze beautifully for up to three months. Layer them between wax paper in a freezer-safe container.
03 -
  • Use a small cookie scoop for uniform balls that look professionally made
  • Tap your dipped truffles gently against the bowl edge to remove excess coating for the smoothest finish
