What Kind of Oreos Should I Use?

For this recipe, use Mint-flavored Oreos for the most intense minty experience. However, if you can’t find them or prefer a milder taste, regular Oreos with a drop or two of peppermint extract mixed into the cream cheese will do the trick. Just make sure not to overdo the mint extract, as it can quickly overpower the truffles.

Ingredients for the Mint Oreo Truffles

These ingredients are all easy to find and come together for a dessert that feels indulgent and homemade.

• Mint Oreos: These cookies bring both the chocolate and mint flavor to the base of the truffle. No need to remove the filling!
• Cream cheese: Softened cream cheese binds the crushed Oreos together into a smooth, scoopable dough.
• Chocolate chips or melting chocolate: Used for dipping, this creates the crisp outer shell that gives each bite a satisfying finish.
• Crushed peppermint or sprinkles (optional): Adds a decorative and flavorful touch on top of each truffle.

How To Make the Mint Oreo Truffles

Step 1: Crush the Oreos

Place the Mint Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. If you don’t have a processor, you can place them in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese. Mix until the mixture is completely smooth and uniform. The dough should be thick and sticky.

Step 3: Shape and Chill

Roll the dough into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze them for at least 20 minutes to firm up before dipping.

Step 4: Dip in Chocolate

Melt your chocolate chips or melting wafers according to the package instructions. Using a fork or skewer, dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, then return to the parchment paper.

Step 5: Decorate and Set

While the chocolate is still wet, top each truffle with crushed peppermint or festive sprinkles. Let them set at room temperature or place them back in the fridge until the coating hardens.

How to Store and Serve These Truffles

This recipe yields about 24 truffles, making it perfect for parties or gifting. You can serve them chilled or at room temperature, but they do hold their shape best when slightly cold. To store, keep them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two weeks. If you want to make them ahead, they also freeze beautifully for up to three months.
