The combination of chocolate and peppermint are particularly wonderful at Christmas. Make these delicious peppermint Oreo truffles for a dessert or as a gift for friends and loved ones!
These disappear quick in my home. My husband is a HUGE fan of peppermint, and these chocolatey, rich Oreo balls don't disappoint. The remaining of my family and friends love them too. I hope you love them as much as we do. Enjoy! Xoxo -Katie.

- 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.

Tip for coating Oreo truffles in white chocolate
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.
However, if you are worried about the chocolate specks, melt the white chocolate in smaller batches. Clean the bowl, removing any bits of Oreo in between the batches. Then coat the balls.
How do you store them?
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
