Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients:

Ingredients

  • 1 package of Mint Oreos
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 12 oz dark chocolate, chopped
  • Crushed mint candies for garnish

Make sure to have these items ready before you start!

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to make your Mint Oreo Truffles:

Crush the Oreos

In a food processor, crush the Mint Oreos until they become fine crumbs.

Mix with Cream Cheese

In a large bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with the softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined and the mixture is moldable.

Form Truffles

Scoop out small portions of the mixture and roll them into balls. Place the truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Chill

Refrigerate the truffles for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Coat in Chocolate

Melt the dark chocolate. Dip each truffle in the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off before placing them back on the baking sheet.

Garnish

Sprinkle crushed mint candies on top of each truffle before the chocolate sets.

Let the chocolate set completely before serving.

Storage Tips

Proper storage is crucial for maintaining the freshness of your Mint Oreo Truffles. After they have set, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. This not only preserves their flavor but also keeps the chocolate coating from becoming too soft or sticky.

If you wish to keep the truffles for a longer period, they can be frozen. Place the truffles in a single layer on a baking sheet until frozen solid, then transfer them to a freezer bag. When you're ready to enjoy them, simply thaw them in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving.

Serving Suggestions

These Mint Oreo Truffles are delicious on their own, but they can also be paired with other festive treats. Consider serving them alongside a selection of cookies, brownies, or hot chocolate to create a dessert platter that everyone will love. This combination makes for an inviting dessert table at any gathering.

For a more indulgent experience, serve them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or drizzle some additional melted chocolate on top. The rich chocolate and creamy mint flavor of the truffles will complement the ice cream beautifully, making for a decadent dessert that’s hard to resist.
