Ingredients
- 16 ounce 1 package Oreo cookies crushed
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 12 ounces white chocolate chips or almond bark
- 1 cup Peppermint candy crushed
Instructions
- Crush the Oreos in a food processor or put them in a ziploc bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
- Stir together the crushed Oreos, cream cheese, and peppermint extract.
- Form the mixture into balls using a cookie scoop. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Place the balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least one hour.
- Put the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 30 seconds, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is smooth.
- Dip each Oreo ball in the melted chocolate and transfer to a piece of parchment paper. Top each ball with a few pieces of crushed peppermint candy.
- Allow the chocolate to cool and harden before serving.

Notes
- While a ziplock bag and rolling pin can do the job, using a food processor will give you a finer, more consistent crumb, resulting in a smoother truffle texture.
- Fully soften your cream cheese before you start mixing. If it's too cold, you'll end up with lumps.
- Chill the Oreo balls before coating them in chocolate. This step will save you a lot of sticky fingers and frustration.
- Use a cookie scoop to get truffles that are all the same size. It not only looks better but also helps them chill and set uniformly. If you don't have a cookie scoop, a tablespoon will work, too—just try to keep them consistent.
- After dipping the truffles in melted chocolate, sprinkle the crushed peppermint candy immediately. The chocolate sets quickly, and you want the candy to stick.
