Peppermint Oreo Balls Recipe
Peppermint Oreo Balls bring a refreshing twist to holiday sweets. With a crunchy peppermint candy shell and a luscious mix of cream cheese and crushed Oreo inside, these balls are a festive no-bake confection that’s as fun to make as they are to eat.
Ingredients
- 36 Oreos
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 16 ounces white chocolate melting wafers
- 1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
- 48 crushed peppermint candies
Instructions
- Place the cream cheese and Oreos in a food processor and process until combined. Scoop out small parts of the mixture and roll into 48 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for 20 minutes, or until hardened.
- Melt the semisweet chocolate with peppermint extract in the microwave at 30-second increments, stirring between each one.
- Once melted, dip each ball in it with a fork, scraping the bottom. Roll in peppermint candies and put the ball on the parchment paper.

Tips and Tricks
- For a smooth texture in your Oreo balls, ensure the Oreos are finely crushed. You can use a food processor to achieve a fine, even crumb.
- If the melted chocolate seems too thick, add a tiny bit of coconut oil or vegetable oil to help thin it out for easier dipping.
- Store the peppermint Oreo balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 weeks.
