Tip

After several Oreo balls are rolled into the melted white chocolate, little bits of Oreo chocolate will mix in the white chocolate.

Therefore you might see a little bit of the chocolate specks in the coating when it hardens. This does not personally bother me.

Tip: However, if you are worried about the chocolate specks, melt the white chocolate in smaller batches. Then coat the balls a little at a time to prevent this from happening.

Can you freeze them?

You can freeze the peppermint Oreo truffles in an airtight container or freezer Ziploc bag for up to 3 months.
