White Chocolate Peppermint Oreo Truffles are a cross between homemade candy (think fudge) and cake pops. They’re chocolatey, decadent, and perfect for holidays and celebrations.
I was recently contacted by a rep from Yummly with an opportunity to put my own spin on their traditional Oreo Balls, which are essentially crushed Oreos with cream cheese, rolled into balls and dipped in chocolate.
I definitely put my spin on it.
These are similar to cookie balls.
But my version has the inclusion of toffee, peppermint chips and white chocolate. These are so much fun to make, and even more fun to eat. I LOVE the toffee bits in these; it adds that je ne sais quoi.
I thoroughly enjoyed making these.
My family thoroughly enjoyed eating them!
How Do You Make White Chocolate Peppermint Oreo Truffles?
These are crazy easy to make.
You first want to pulverize the Oreos into sand. This is best accomplished by using a small appliance, but if you feel like getting some aggression out go ahead and put them in a gallon size zip lock bag and go to town with a rolling pin.
I pulsed the Oreos in my food processor a few times until they were crumbs.
The cream cheese and toffee chips are added to the cookie crumbs, then the combination is rolled into balls and frozen for 30 minutes. While those are freezing, both chocolates are melted with peppermint extract.
The cookie pops are dipped in white chocolate, drizzled with milk chocolate and topped with peppermint chips.
The toffee adds an extra little bit of yummy crunchiness.
