Description
Peppermint Oreo Balls are a simple, no-bake dessert. They combine Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and peppermint extract, coated in chocolate and peppermint.
Ingredients
Scale
- 14 ounce package Oreos (36 regular Oreos)
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- Crushed peppermint pieces
Instructions
- Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms.
- Add in the cream cheese, peppermint extract, and salt, then pulse until fully combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
- Use a medium cookie scoop to portion out the mixture and roll into balls with your hands. Place the balls on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill them in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes.
- Melt the melting wafers in a small bowl at 30-second intervals, stirring between each one, until fully melted.
- Use a spoon and fork to dip and coat the balls, then transfer back to the parchment paper to set completely.
- Top with sprinkles or crushed peppermint pieces before the chocolate sets.
Notes
- You can place these in the refrigerator or freezer to set faster if needed, about 5 to 10 minutes for each round.
- To freeze, add them to a freezer bag and squeeze out any excess air and freeze for up to 3 months.
- These can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
