Description

Ingredients

• 1 (14.3 ounce) package OREO cookies (36 cookies)
• 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 4 (4.67 ounce) packages Andes Creme de Menthe Thins
• 1 (12 ounce) bag Bright White Candy Melts, for drizzling, optional
• Green food coloring, for candy melts, optional

Directions

• In a food processor or by hand, finely crush cookies. Add cream cheese and mix until evenly combined (filling should have a fudgy texture and appearance). Shape into 36 (1-inch) balls. Freeze 10 minutes. Meanwhile, set Andes Candies in a bowl over a pot of simmering water (double-boiler method) or melt in the microwave at 50% power in 30-second increments. Using a spoon, carefully roll chilled balls in melted candies. Place in single layer in baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm. If desired, melt candy melts in a double boiler or microwave as outlined above. Carefully stir in a few drops of green food coloring to create a minty green color. Using a spoon, carefully drizzle the melted mint-colored chocolate over the truffles. Chill until firm, about 30 minutes.
