Steps to make peppermint Oreo truffles
Making these peppermint Oreo truffles is fun and easy. Follow these simple steps.
- Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or blender. (photo 1)
- Mix in cream cheese and peppermint extract until completely blended. (photo 2)
- Refrigerate until firm (1 hour or more).
- Roll Oreo mixture into 1 inch round balls. (photo 3)
- In a heatproof medium glass or metal bowl, add white chocolate candy coat. Place bowl over a small saucepan with 1 inch of water. Cook on low heat stirring occasionally until the white chocolate is completely melted. (photo 4)
- Dip Oreo balls into melted white chocolate. Place on wax paper. (photo 5)
- Sprinkle tiny bits of crushed peppermints Starlights or crushed candy canes. (photo 6)
- Refrigerate until white chocolate coating is hard (about 1 hour).
Note: Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

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.
