I started making these several years ago, when my niece gave me the recipe. Her's didn't have mint in them though. I added it. I have tried about everything to coat them with. Don't do crushed peppermint! It will start to drip on you. Like, turn to water & be real sticky. I do like crushed pretzels though as a coating. It gives it a salty/sweet taste.

How To Make oreo mint truffles

Step 1

Chop Oreo cookies in food processor until you can see no more white in them.

Step 2

Add the cream cheese & process until you can see no more white again & the cream cheese is fully incorporated.
Step 3

Form into small balls & place in fridge for about 1 hour to firm up.
Step 4

MAKING THE TOPPING:
Step 5

In a glass bowl, melt the chocolate with the almond bark by starting on 1 minute, then stirring & repeating every 30 seconds until melted. Do not over-melt or it will seize up on you. Also, never get even 1 drop of water in it, or it will seize up.
Step 6

Now, add the mint oil & adjust to your taste.
Step 7

Insert toothpick in a ball & dip into the chocolate, coating completely.
Step 8

Now, immediately dip the top into desired topping & place on wax paper with toothpick side down.
Step 9

If you would rather drizzle with a colored chocolate, omit step #8 & melt & color the drizzle & drizzle on top after they are set .
Step 10

Place in fridge to set good before stacking them on top of each other.
Step 11

These keep well, if kept in the fridge.
