Ingredients
Truffle Base
- 1 (18.71 ounce) package Mint Oreos (about 36 cookies)
- 8 ounces brick-style cream cheese, softened
Coating and Decoration
- 1 pound almond bark
- 1/3 cup green candy melts (optional)
Instructions
- Crush Cookies: Add the Mint Oreos to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form, ensuring a uniform texture for the truffle mixture.
- Mix Base: In a large bowl, use a hand mixer to blend the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese until smooth and fully combined, creating a creamy, homogeneous batter.
- Shape Truffles: Use a 1-tablespoon scoop to portion the mixture, then roll into evenly sized balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet for easy handling.
- Chill: Refrigerate the truffle balls for at least 30 minutes, or until firm enough to handle for dipping.
- Melt Coating: Melt the almond bark according to package directions until smooth and fluid for dipping.
- Dip Truffles: Dip each chilled truffle into the melted almond bark, tapping off any excess coating before placing them back on the lined baking sheet to set.
- Decorate: If desired, melt the green candy melts and drizzle over the coated truffles to add a festive touch.
- Set and Serve: Allow the coating to fully set—this can be done at room temperature or in the refrigerator—before serving or storing the truffles.
Notes
- For best results, use room temperature cream cheese to ensure smooth mixing.
- Chilling the truffle mixture before dipping helps prevent melting and makes the coating process easier.
- Store truffles in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
- You can customize the candy melt color for different occasions or skip it entirely.
- If you don't have a food processor, place cookies in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.
