Description

Directions

• Crush (whole) Oreos into fine crumbs; place in medium bowl.
• Add cream cheese and peppermint extract to the crushed Oreos; mix until well blended.
• Refrigerate mixture until firm, about one hour.
• Roll cookie mixture into balls, about 1-inch in diameter.
• Dip balls in chocolate/candy melt/almond bark; place on wax paper.
• Sprinkle with crushed candy canes immediately after placing on wax paper.
• Refrigerate until firm, about 1 hour.
• Store truffles, covered, in refrigerator.
• Yields about 20-30 truffles.
• NOTES:
• • Add 1/2 teas. to 1 teas. more peppermint extract for more peppermint flavor
• • If you want a drier consistency for the truffle filling, use 4 oz. of cream cheese. You can add more cream cheese, ounce by ounce, to get your desired consistency.
• • To help prevent the Oreo mixture from mixing into the white chocolate/candy coat, melt small batches of chocolate/candy coat at a time.
