Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 36 Oreos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
Coating and Flavor
- 16 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 48 crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: Place the cream cheese and Oreos in a food processor and process until thoroughly combined to form a smooth, consistent mixture.
- Form Balls: Scoop small portions of the mixture and roll them into 48 approximately 1-inch diameter balls. Arrange them on a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Freeze the Balls: Freeze the arranged balls for 20 minutes or until they are firm enough for dipping.
- Melt Chocolate: In the microwave, melt the white chocolate melting wafers with the peppermint extract using 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth and fully melted.
- Dip Balls in Chocolate: Using a fork, dip each frozen ball into the melted peppermint white chocolate, scraping off any excess chocolate from the bottom before placing it back on the parchment paper.
- Roll in Peppermint Candies: Immediately roll the chocolate-coated balls in the crushed peppermint candies to adhere the pieces, then place them back onto the parchment paper to set.
- Set and Serve: Allow the dipped balls to set completely at room temperature or in the refrigerator before serving.
Notes
- Freezing the balls before dipping helps prevent them from falling apart in the chocolate.
- Use parchment paper to avoid sticking and make cleanup easier.
- For extra festive presentation, add a drizzle of melted dark chocolate over the finished balls.
- Store the peppermint Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
