Peppermint Oreo Truffles
This is the stuff that dreams are made of: Oreo cookie crumbs are blended with cream cheese and covered with a chocolate shell for the best-tasting truffles ever.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreos Cookies (Not Oreo Double Stuffed Cookies)
- 1 (8 Ounces) Packaged Cream Cheese, Softened
- 1 Teaspoon Peppermint Extract
- 16 Ounces Chocolate Almond Bark
- 1/4 Cup Crushed Candy Canes or Peppermint Candies, For Decorating
Directions
Set a long sheet of wax paper over a cookie sheet, set aside. Place 36 Oreos in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed (alternately if you don't own a food processor you can place Oreos in a large Ziploc bag, seal bag and crush with a rolling pin until finely crushed). Pour crushed Oreos into a mixing bowl. In separate mixing bowl blend together cream cheese and peppermint extract. Add cream cheese mixture to crushed Oreos and using the back of a spoon, stir mixture while pressing it along the bottom of the bowl, until well combined and evenly moistened. Scoop mixture out and form into 1 inch balls, then align on prepared cookie sheet. Place truffles in freezer for 10 minutes. Melt almond bark according to directions on package. Remove truffles from freezer and dip in melted chocolate and evenly coat then allow excess chocolate to run off. Return to baking sheet, immediately sprinkle tops with crushed candy canes then allow chocolate to set. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator. Enjoy!
