You only need a handful of ingredients and a bit of chill time to bring this crowd-pleaser to life.

What Kind of Oreos Should I Use?

Classic mint-flavored Oreos work best in this recipe. They’re already infused with that cool peppermint flavor and blend beautifully with cream cheese. If you can’t find mint Oreos, you can use regular Oreos and add a touch of peppermint extract to mimic the flavor. Just be sure not to overdo it—peppermint is powerful!

Ingredients for the Mint Oreo Truffles

Mint Oreo Cookies – These are the flavor foundation, providing both the chocolate crunch and the signature mint flavor.

Cream Cheese – Softened cream cheese binds the crushed Oreos into a smooth, rollable filling with a tangy balance.

White Chocolate or Vanilla Candy Coating – Melts into a creamy outer shell that pairs beautifully with mint.

Semi-Sweet or Dark Chocolate – Optional drizzle for a decorative contrast and a boost of deep cocoa flavor.

Crushed Oreo Crumbs (for topping) – Sprinkling extra crumbs on top adds a final touch of texture and lets guests know what’s inside.

How To Make the Mint Oreo Truffles

Step 1: Crush the Cookies

Add the mint Oreo cookies to a food processor and pulse until you get fine crumbs. This forms the base of your truffle mixture. If you don’t have a processor, place the cookies in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin.

Step 2: Blend with Cream Cheese

Transfer the cookie crumbs to a large bowl. Add the softened cream cheese and mix until completely smooth. It should look like a sticky dough and hold together when rolled.

Step 3: Roll into Balls

Using a small cookie scoop or tablespoon, portion out the mixture and roll into smooth balls with your hands. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill to Set

Refrigerate the rolled balls for about 30 minutes to firm up. This step is important for clean dipping later on.

Step 5: Dip in White Chocolate

Melt your white chocolate or vanilla candy coating according to the package directions. Use a fork to dip each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, letting the excess drip off. Place back on the parchment paper.

Step 6: Drizzle and Sprinkle

Melt semi-sweet or dark chocolate and drizzle it over the coated truffles for contrast. Immediately sprinkle with extra crushed Oreos before the coating sets.

Step 7: Let Them Set

Allow the truffles to sit at room temperature or refrigerate until the chocolate coating is fully hardened. Then, they’re ready to serve!

How to Serve and Store Mint Oreo Truffles

These minty delights are best served chilled or at room temperature. Set them out on a dessert platter, arrange them in mini cupcake liners for a polished look, or gift them in decorative boxes for the holidays. Their pretty green and chocolate swirl makes them especially festive.

To store, place the truffles in an airtight container with parchment between layers to prevent sticking. Keep them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze them for up to 2 months. Just let them thaw slightly before serving to enjoy the creamy texture.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long do Mint Oreo Truffles last?

They’ll stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks, and can be frozen for longer storage.

Can I use regular Oreos instead of mint?

Absolutely! Just add 1/4 teaspoon of peppermint extract to replicate the mint flavor.

What type of chocolate works best for coating?

White chocolate chips or vanilla candy melts both work great. For the drizzle, semi-sweet or dark chocolate adds a nice contrast.

Do I need to temper the chocolate?

Not necessarily for this recipe. Since the truffles are stored chilled, regular melting methods are fine. Just don’t overheat the chocolate.

Can I make these in advance for a party?

Yes! These are perfect make-ahead treats. Just store them in the fridge or freezer and pull them out the day you need them.

Why are my truffles cracking after dipping?

If the truffles are too cold and the chocolate too hot, cracking can occur. Let them sit at room temp for a few minutes before dipping.
