Ingredients

For the Truffles:

  • 36 cookies Mint Oreo cookies
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 2.5 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 8 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon mint extract
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips or green candy melts for decorating
  • 6 drops green food coloring for decorating
  • green and brown jimmie sprinkles optional

Instructions

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.
