Description
These No-Bake Peppermint Oreo Truffles combine crushed Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and peppermint extract, all coated in white chocolate and sprinkled with crushed candy cane for a festive, melt-in-your-mouth holiday treat.
Ingredients
1 (14.3 oz) package Oreo cookies (classic or peppermint)
1 (8 oz) block full-fat cream cheese, softened
½ tsp peppermint extract
10 oz white chocolate or white candy melts
¼ cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
Instructions
Crush: Place Oreos in a food processor and pulse to fine crumbs (or seal in a zip-top bag and crush with a rolling pin).
Mix: In a bowl, combine crumbs, cream cheese, and peppermint extract until a uniform, pliable dough forms.
Roll: Scoop tablespoonfuls and roll into 1″ balls. Arrange on a parchment-lined sheet; chill 30 minutes.
Dip: Melt white chocolate per package directions. Using a fork, dip each truffle, tap off excess, and place back on parchment. Immediately sprinkle with crushed candy cane.
Set: Chill 15 minutes more, then serve.
Notes
For firmer truffles in warm kitchens, freeze 10 minutes before dipping.
Swap dark or milk chocolate for white chocolate coating.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months.
