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

  1. Combine Ingredients: Place the cream cheese and Oreos in a food processor and process until thoroughly combined to form a smooth, consistent mixture.
  2. 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.
  3. Freeze the Balls: Freeze the arranged balls for 20 minutes or until they are firm enough for dipping.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
