Creating delicious Oreo Mint Chocolate Truffles is straightforward when you follow this simple list of steps:

1. Crush Oreos: Place the Oreo cookies into a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs.
2. Mix Cream Cheese: In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese and peppermint extract. Mix until well incorporated and a dough forms.
3. Form Truffles: Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, form the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Chill Truffles: Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to an hour, allowing the truffles to firm up.
5. Melt Chocolate: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring in between until smooth.
6. Coat Truffles: Remove the truffles from the refrigerator and dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. Use a fork to transfer the truffles back to the baking sheet.
7. Add Toppings: If desired, sprinkle crushed Oreos or candy cane pieces on top of each coated truffle before the chocolate sets.
8. Melt White Chocolate: If using, melt the white chocolate chips similarly and drizzle over the cooled truffles for an elegant touch.
9. Let Set: Allow the chocolate to harden at room temperature or place the truffles back in the fridge for quicker setting.
10. Serve: Once set, your Oreo Mint Chocolate Truffles are ready to be enjoyed!
