Instructions:

• Step 1: Crush the Cookies
  Start by placing the 36 Mint Oreo cookies in a food processor. Pulse them until you achieve a fine crumb. If you don’t have a food processor, you can place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
• Step 2: Mix with Cream Cheese
  In a large mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs with the 8 ounces of softened cream cheese. Use a spatula or your hands to mix until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and slightly sticky.
• Step 3: Form the Truffles
  Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture and roll it into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Place the formed truffles on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
• Step 4: Chill
  Cover the cookie sheet with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This helps the truffles firm up and makes them easier to coat.
• Step 5: Prepare the Chocolate Coating
  In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the 2 1/2 cups of semi-sweet chocolate chips and 8 teaspoons of coconut oil. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.
• Step 6: Coat the Truffles
  Once the truffles have chilled, use a fork or toothpick to dip each truffle into the melted chocolate. Allow any excess chocolate to drip off, then return the truffle to the parchment-lined cookie sheet.
• Step 7: Decorate
  If desired, melt the 1 cup of white chocolate chips or green candy melts in another microwave-safe bowl. Add the 6 drops of green food coloring and stir until combined. Drizzle the colored chocolate over the coated truffles and sprinkle with green and brown jimmie sprinkles for a festive touch.
• Step 8: Final Chill
  Return the truffles to the refrigerator for another 30 minutes to allow the chocolate coating to set.
