Recipe for Peppermint Chocolate Truffles

Ingredients

  • 1 15.5 package Oreos (I used generic kind and they still tasted just as good!)
  • 1 8 oz. package of cream cheese, softened
  • 4-5 round peppermint candies, plus more for decorating (crushed)
  • 1 tsp peppermint extract, divided in half
  • 1 1/2 to 1 3/4 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or about 10 oz. dark chocolate)

Cooking Directions

In a food processor or blender, add Oreos and 4-5 peppermint candies and pulse until they break down into a fine powder. If your food processor is small like mine (only 3 cups), you may need to do this in batches.

Pour the crushed Oreos into a medium-sized mixing bowl and add softened cream cheese and 1/2 tsp peppermint extract. Stir until well-incorporated and mixture forms a thick paste.

Using your hands, roll Oreo mixture into balls (about the size of a heaping tablespoon). Place on a platter or cookie sheet and stick in the freezer for 30-40 minutes.

Melt chocolate using a double boiler over low heat, or in the microwave in 30-second increments, stirring between each one until chocolate is melted. Stir in remaining 1/2 tsp peppermint extract.

Using a fork or spoon, gently dip the truffles into the melted chocolate and roll around until completely covered.

Remove from from melted chocolate with your fork or spoon and place on a wax-lined cookie sheet. If desired, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on top to decorate.

Once all truffles have been dipped in chocolate, place them
in the refrigerator until you are ready to serve them
