Ingredients for the Mint Oreo Truffles

Each ingredient in this recipe has a specific role to play in taste and texture. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Mint Oreos – The heart of the truffle. Crushed finely, they create the fudge-like filling with both chocolate and mint flavor.
• Cream Cheese – This binds the crushed Oreos into a smooth and scoopable dough.
• White Chocolate or Candy Melts (mint green) – For that crisp, colorful shell. Use green melts or add a drop of gel food coloring to white chocolate.
• Crushed Oreos or Chocolate Sprinkles (optional) – For garnishing the tops and adding a little texture.

How To Make the Mint Oreo Truffles

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

Place the mint Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they resemble fine crumbs. Reserve 2 tablespoons for topping, if desired.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese

In a mixing bowl, combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese. Use a hand mixer or spatula to mix until fully blended into a smooth dough.

Step 3: Shape the Truffles

Scoop about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.

Step 4: Dip in Chocolate

Melt the green candy melts or white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, coating it completely. Use a fork to lift them out and gently tap off excess coating.

Step 5: Garnish and Set

Place coated truffles back on the parchment-lined tray. Immediately sprinkle with reserved crushed Oreos. Let them set at room temperature or refrigerate until hardened.
