  3. Add peppermint extract and stir to incorporate.
  4. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

  6. Once chilled, dip each ball into melted white chocolate, coating completely.
  7. Place the dipped balls back on the parchment sheet and sprinkle with crushed peppermint candies, if desired.
  8. Chill again for 15 minutes to allow the chocolate to set.
  9. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra flavor, you can add a bit more peppermint extract to the filling or chocolate coating.
  • These Oreo balls can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
  • You can substitute white chocolate with milk or dark chocolate for a different taste.
  • If you don’t have peppermint candies, you can use crushed candy canes for a holiday touch.
  • The peppermint extract is optional but enhances the flavor of the holiday treat.
  • Make sure the balls are chilled enough before dipping to prevent them from falling apart.
  • For a more festive look, drizzle extra melted white chocolate over the balls before chilling.
  • These Oreo balls make great holiday gifts when packaged in decorative containers.
