Oreo Truffle Recipe

If you’re a fan of chocolate + peppermint, you’re going to LOVE these oreo truffle balls. Richly decadent, these treats take crushed oreos and mix them with cream cheese and crushed peppermints until they’re smooth and creamy and then encases it in chocolate. Oreo balls are sooooo good, even Scrooge cannot find a fault with them.

Perfect for Christmas parties, holiday neighbor gifts, or even left out for Santa, peppermint oreo truffles are sure to get you on the nice list. So crank up the Christmas tunes (don’t come at me, I like early Christmas music, okay?) and whip these up to welcome the holiday season in the yummiest way possible.

Ingredients in Peppermint Oreo Balls

Oreos – Just use the regular oreos, not double stuffed. You’ll want to leave the filling in the oreos when you crush them.
Crushed soft peppermints – I love Bob’s sweet stripes peppermints because they don’t stick to your teeth.
Cream cheese, room temperature – Can use light cream cheese, if desired.
White chocolate chips – You can use milk, or dark chocolate chips instead, if desired. I just personally like white chocolate!

How to Make Oreo Truffle Balls

In a blender or food processor, crush the Oreos and soft peppermints into a fine powder.
Combine the oreos with the cream cheese using either a stand mixer or an electric hand mixer until well combined.
Use a cookie scoop or two spoons to portion out the oreo mixture into small portions, about 1/2 tbsp for each, dropping the mixture on a parchment paper or silicone lined cookie sheet.
Place the entire pan into the fridge and chill for 30 minutes.
After the oreo mixture has chilled, remove from the fridge and roll into a smooth ball. Repeat with the remaining Oreo balls.
Return to the fridge while you melt the white chocolate.Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl, microwave the white chocolate chips at 50% power for 30 seconds and then stir. Repeat the previous step until the the chocolate is almost completely melted, and then stir until the remaining chocolate chips melt.
Remove the Oreo Balls from the fridge and dip each oreo ball into the melted chocolate and then return them to the prepared pan.
Alternatively, drizzle the chocolate over the top of the oreo balls.
Allow the chocolate to set and then serve.
Store the oreo balls in the fridge for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
