Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies candy canes or peppermint candies work well
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened (ensure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing)
  • 1 package Oreo cookies approximately 36 cookies, finely crushed
  • 12 oz white chocolate melted (use high-quality white chocolate for the best results)
  • Red candy melts melted (optional, for festive drizzling)

Method
 

  1. Mix the Peppermint Cream Base:In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and crushed peppermint candies. Use a hand mixer or stand mixer to mix until the texture is smooth and creamy.
  2. Shape the Truffles:Scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the peppermint mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Repeat until all the mixture is used and place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Chill the Truffles:Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and chill the truffles for about 15 minutes. This helps them firm up, making them easier to handle during coating.
  4. Coat with Crushed Oreos:Roll each chilled truffle in the finely crushed Oreo cookies, pressing gently to ensure an even coating. Place them back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  5. Dip in White Chocolate:Melt the white chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl, heating in 20-second intervals and stirring between each until completely smooth. Use a fork or dipping tool to dip each Oreo-coated truffle into the melted white chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Let any excess chocolate drip off before placing the truffles back on the baking sheet.
  6. Add Festive Drizzle:While the white chocolate is still wet, drizzle the truffles with melted red candy melts for a festive look. Allow the truffles to set at room temperature or in the refrigerator until the chocolate is firm.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free option, use plant-based cream cheese and dairy-free white chocolate.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free, substitute regular Oreos with gluten-free Oreo-style cookies.
  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week, or freeze for up to two months.
  • Use a resealable plastic bag and a rolling pin to crush peppermint candies and Oreo cookies easily.
