Ingredients
Scale
- 36 Oreo cookies (about 1 package)
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 12 oz white chocolate, melted
- Green food coloring (optional)
- Crushed Oreo crumbs or green sprinkles for decoration (optional)
Instructions
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a zip-top bag and crushing with a rolling pin.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peppermint extract. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Freeze the balls for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
- Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or double boiler. If desired, add a few drops of green food coloring and stir until evenly colored.
- Dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to coat completely. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the coated balls back onto the parchment paper. Quickly decorate with crushed Oreo crumbs or sprinkles if desired before the chocolate sets.
- Refrigerate the balls for at least 1 hour until the chocolate is firm.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
Notes
For an extra minty kick, try drizzling dark chocolate over the white chocolate coating or adding a tiny piece of fresh mint inside each ball before coating.
