Description

These No-Bake Thin Mint Cookie Truffles are a quick, decadent treat featuring crushed Thin Mint cookies and cream cheese, dipped in chocolate for the ultimate minty dessert. Perfect for parties, holidays, or gifting!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 box (9 oz or 255 g) Thin Mint cookies (or similar mint chocolate cookies)
  • 4 oz (115 g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 oz (225 g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate, melted
  • 1/4 cup (40 g) crushed Thin Mint cookies, sprinkles, or white chocolate drizzle for garnish (optional)

Instructions

1. Crush the Cookies:

  • Add the Thin Mint cookies to a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Reserve 2 tablespoons of crumbs for garnish if desired.

2. Combine with Cream Cheese:

  • Add the softened cream cheese to the food processor and blend with the cookie crumbs until the mixture forms a smooth dough.

3. Shape the Truffles:

  • Scoop 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it into a ball using your hands. Place the truffles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  • Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or until firm.

4. Dip in Chocolate:

  • Melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each, until smooth.
  • Dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to lift the truffle out, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
  • Place the coated truffles back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.

5. Garnish and Set:

  • Sprinkle the reserved cookie crumbs or sprinkles on top of each truffle while the chocolate is still wet.
  • Refrigerate for 20 minutes, or until the chocolate is fully set.

6. Serve:

  • Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy these minty, chocolatey bites!

Notes

  • Store the truffles in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
  • For a colorful touch, use white chocolate or green-tinted candy melts for dipping.
  • Add a splash of peppermint extract to the mixture for an extra minty kick.
