Equipment

  • Hand mixer or stand mixer

Ingredients
  

For the Base Ingredients:

  • 1 cup crushed peppermint candies Candy canes or store-bought peppermint candy work well
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened (Ensure it’s at room temperature for easy mixing)
  • 1 package Oreo cookies Approximately 36 cookies, finely crushed

For the Coating & Decoration:

  • 12 oz white chocolate melted (Use high-quality white chocolate chips or bars)
  • Red candy melts melted (Optional, for festive drizzling)

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Peppermint Cream Base: In a large mixing bowl, combine softened cream cheese and crushed peppermint candies. Mix until smooth.
  • Form the Truffle Centers: Scoop tablespoon-sized portions and roll into balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Chill the Centers: Freeze the truffle centers for 15 minutes to firm up.
  • Coat with Crushed Oreos: Roll each truffle in finely crushed Oreo cookies, pressing gently to ensure even coverage. Return to the baking sheet.
  • Dip in White Chocolate: Using a fork or dipping tool, coat each truffle in melted white chocolate, shaking off excess before placing back on parchment paper.
  • Add Festive Drizzle (Optional): While the white chocolate is still wet, drizzle melted red candy melts over the truffles for a decorative touch.
  • Set the Truffles: Allow them to sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate has completely hardened. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Dairy-Free Version: Use plant-based cream cheese and dairy-free white chocolate.
  • Gluten-Free Option: Substitute regular Oreo cookies with a gluten-free alternative.
  • Alternative Coating: Use dark or milk chocolate instead of white chocolate for a richer flavor.
  • Decoration Swap: If red candy melts are unavailable, use colored icing or edible sprinkles.
