Mint and chocolate? Yes, please! Even better is when it is Oreo form… or Oreos formed into creamy, rich, decadent, minty truffles. I know, the description just keeps getting better – that’s because this recipe makes mint and chocolate and Oreos even better all together for this very rich and amazing truffle treat!
We have shared our regular, no-bake, 3-ingredient Oreo Truffles Recipe, but we are going to take this a step further for these minty, rich truffles! It is really amazing what you can do with Oreos beyond the normal “dip in a glass of milk” treat.
Well, enough talk – let’s share this amazing recipe with you!
Yields: 30-35 truffles
Time: 1 hour
How To Make Chocolatey Oreo Mint Truffles
Ingredients:
- 1 (15.25 oz) package Mint Crème Oreos
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Optional: Sprinkles and green candy melts
Directions:
1. Process the Oreos (entire cookie including filling) in a food processor or blender. Pulse until crumbs are formed.
2. Using a hand-held or stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, beat the Oreo crumbs with cream cheese until combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
3. Using your hands, roll into 30-35 balls. Place balls on a parchment paper lined backing sheet or a silicone mat-lined baking sheet. Freeze the truffles for at least 30 minutes. If they are not cold and solid, the melted chocolate will not coat the balls properly.
4. Melt the chocolate in a bowl as directed on packaging. Working with one truffle at a time, completely coat the outside of each ball. To do this, simply drop a truffle into the chocolate, swirl it around with a fork and then pick it up using the fork’s prongs. Tap the fork on the edge of the bowl to allow the excess coating to drip off, and place on lined baking sheet. *If using green candy melts, coat truffle and immediately add sprinkles before coating dries. Also, use to drizzle on top of chocolate coated truffles.
5. Refrigerate the truffles for at least 10 minutes so the chocolate sets. Truffles must always be chilled and will stay fresh for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.
Yummy! Everyone will be so amazed at your amazing minty truffles and little will they know that they hardly took any effort! You will have best friends for life when you share these with others!
