Instructions
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place cookies in a food processor and process until cookies are fine crumbs. See notes if you don’t have a food processor.
- Add cream cheese to the cookie crumbs. Mix with a silicone spatula until a dough forms. Do not mix the mixture in the food processor as the cream cheese mixture can become too liquidy.
- Roll the dough into balls, about one tablespoon per truffle. I like to use this cookie scoop set, for this recipe you'll need the small cookie scoop. Place each truffle on the parchment paper-lined baking sheet so they are not touching. Freeze the truffles for at least 15 minutes.
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips and 6 teaspoons (2 tablespoons) of coconut oil into a heatproof bowl. Microwave for a minute at half power, then stir. Continue heating the chocolate in thirty-second increments until it is smooth. Add the mint extract and stir.
- Place truffle balls into melted chocolate one at a time. Use a fork so excess chocolate can drip off. Place each coated truffle ball on parchment paper so they are not touching each other.
- Add the white chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons of coconut oil each to their own heatproof bowl. Microwave for a minute at half power, then stir the chocolate and the coconut oil with it's own spoon. Continue heating the white chocolate and coconut oil each in their own bowls in thirty-second increments until smooth. The coconut oil will melt first and can be removed from the microwave once melted.
- Add 6 drops of green food coloring to the melted coconut oil and mix well. Pour the coconut oil into the melted white chocolate and mix.
- Pour green chocolate in a zip-top bag. Snip the corner of the bag with scissors, then drizzle green-colored chocolate over truffle balls. Add sprinkles immediatly if desired.
- Place the pan in the freezer for 15 minutes to fully harden the chocolate. Then serve and enjoy!
Notes
- 3 ounce package of Oreo cookies has about 36 cookies. You can also use another brand of crunchy sandwich cookies as long as they are chocolate mint.

- Making Cookie Crumbs Without a Food Processor
- If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a gallon size strong zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or even a full canned good to crush the cookies into crumbs inside the bag.
- After the cookies have become crumbs, you can mix in the rest of the ingredients with the cookie crumbs with an electric mixer. If you don’t have an electric mixer you can mix them together by hand but it may take a little longer and the cream cheese needs to be well softened.
- Using Oil In The Chocolate
- If the chocolate is too thick, you can stir in a little oil to thin it out. I prefer using coconut oil but you can use vegetable shortening or vegetable oil also.
