RECIPE: OREO WHITE CHOCOLATE PEPPERMINT TRUFFLES
Ingredients
20 Oreo cookies
6 tablespoons crushed peppermint candies, divided
4 to 5 tablespoons cream cheese icing
8 oz white chocolate candy melts
Parchment paper
Preparation
1, CRUSH Oreo cookies and 3 tablespoons of the peppermint candies together in a food processor (a mini food processor works nicely here!)
2. ADD cream cheese icing, 1 tablespoon at a time, until mixture becomes moist and can easily be rolled.
3. ROLL into balls a little bit bigger than the size of cherries. Once the entire mixture has been rolled into balls, place balls in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes.
4. MELT the white candy melts in a microwave safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring vigorously in between interval. It should take 2-3 intervals to melt entirely.
5. DROP a ball, one at a time, into the melted chocolate to coat; using two forks, lift the ball out. Gently tap any excess chocolate through the tines of the fork. Use the second fork to help slide the truffle ball off of the first fork and onto a piece of parchment paper.
6. IMMEDIATELY SPRINKLE the truffle ball with some of the reserved crushed peppermint candies. Repeat with remaining truffle balls. Let white chocolate set in the fridge before serving.
