Ingredients

  • 8 oz Cream cheese
  • 15.25 oz Package Mint Chocolate Oreos
  • 7 oz Dipping-chocolate wafers

Instructions

  1. Soften cream cheese & blend with a stand mixer until sooth. Crush 6 Mint Chocolate Oreos and set aside. Crush remaining 24 Mint Chocolate Oreos and add to the cream cheese in the mixer bowl and blend until thoroughly combined, scraping sides of the bowl often. Cover the bowl & place in the fridge for one hour.
  2. After an hour bring chilled mixture out & use cookie scoop to make truffles into approximately 1 Tablespoon balls. Place shaped truffles in the freezer for about an hour to firm them up.
  3. After that time melt the dipping chocolate & bring chilled truffles out of freezer. Using a toothpick dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate & allow to drain slightly before placing chocolate-covered truffle on wax paper. Sprinkle reserved crushed cookies on top of truffle before the chocolate hardens. Store in refrigerator for about 15 minutes to harden the chocolate coating. Store finished truffles in the refrigerator. Can be brought to room temperature prior to consumption or enjoy them chilled.
