Ingredients

  • 1 (14.3 ounce) package Oreo cookies 36 cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 4 (4.67 ounce) packages Andes Creme de Menthe Thins
  • 12 ounces Bright White Candy Melts (see note 1)
  • green food coloring

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a food processor or by hand, finely crush cookies. Add cream cheese and mix until evenly combined (filling should have a fudgy texture and appearance). Shape into 36 (1-inch) balls. Freeze 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, set Andes Candies in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments.
  3. Using a toothpick or a spoon, carefully roll chilled balls in melted Andes candies. Place in single layer in baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm.
  4. To make the green candy drizzle, set white candy melts in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments. Carefully stir in a few drops of green food color to create a minty green color.
  5. Using a small plastic bag with the corner snipped off or a spoon, carefully drizzle the green chocolate over the chilled truffles. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes longer.

  • Storage: Store these covered in the refrigerator (or on your patio in winter if you live in a cold climate) for 3 to 4 weeks.
