Peppermint Oreo Truffles Recipe

Call these want you want! Candy Cane Truffles, Peppermint Oreo Truffles or just call them HEAVEN!

I usually tend to gravitate towards the holiday Oreos, what can I say I am a sucker for that goodness but I found a healthier goodness! Candy Cane Joe Joe’s from Trader Joes! While I didn’t use the traditional Oreo, this recipe can be made with ANY sandwich type of cookie!

I hadn’t started making truffles till last year and while I am no expert, it is now one of my favorite “easy” holiday recipes! I created this Peppermint Oreo Truffle Recipe first as a mock up (because all the good bakers test their recipes first) but I wouldn’t change a thing, it’s fabulous!

PEPPERMINT OREO TRUFFLES

DIRECTIONS

Step 1
Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or wax paper
Step 2
Process the cookies in a food processor until nice and crumbly, don’t over puree them.
Step 3
In a large bowl, combine cookie crumbs with the cream cheese. Come on, don’t be afraid to use your hands!
Step 4
Shape them into little balls, approx 1 inch big.
Step 5
Lay them on the cookie sheet and freeze for approx 30 minutes to an hour.
Step 6
Melt the chocolate carefully in a microwave, once melted (stir the chocolate well), carefully dip the truffles in the chocolate using two forks to toggle the truffle back and forth until it’s coated.
Step 7
Garnish with crushed candy canes, peppermints or the candy cane sandwhich cookies.
Step 8
Allow to dry on the cookie sheet, enjoy!
