Peppermint Oreo Balls are a delightful no-bake treat that combines the rich flavor of Oreo cookies with a refreshing hint of peppermint. These bite-sized confections feature a creamy Oreo and cream cheese filling, coated in smooth chocolate, and topped with crushed candy canes for a festive touch.

Ingredients

Scale

 

  • 36 Oreo cookies
  • 8 ounces (226g) cream cheese, softened
  • 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
  • 16 ounces (454g) white or dark chocolate melting wafers
  • ½ cup crushed candy canes or peppermint candies

Instructions

  • Prepare the Oreo Mixture:
    • Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
    • Add the softened cream cheese and peppermint extract to the food processor.
    • Blend until the mixture is well combined and smooth.
  • Form the Balls:
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
    • Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of the mixture and roll them into balls.
    • Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet.
    • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  • Melt the Chocolate:
    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers according to the package instructions, stirring until smooth.
  • Coat the Balls:
    • Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off.
    • Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  • Add Toppings:
    • While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle the tops with crushed candy canes or peppermint candies.
  • Set and Serve:
    • Allow the chocolate coating to set completely at room temperature or refrigerate for faster setting.
    • Once set, transfer the Peppermint Oreo Balls to an airtight container.
    • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes

  • For a smoother coating, consider adding a teaspoon of coconut oil to the melted chocolate.
  • These treats can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
  • For a decorative touch, drizzle with contrasting chocolate before adding the crushed candy canes.
