# How to Make It:
01 -
Process Mint Oreo cookies in a food processor until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place the cookies in a sealed bag and crush with a rolling pin.
02 -
In a large bowl, mix the finely crushed Oreos with softened cream cheese until a smooth, uniform mixture forms.
03 -
Roll the mixture into small balls, each approximately 2.5 cm in diameter. Arrange them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Refrigerate truffle balls for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes, until firm.

In a heatproof bowl, melt the chocolate in 30-second microwave intervals, stirring until smooth. If using white chocolate, incorporate green food coloring if desired.
06 -
Using a fork or a dipping tool, submerge each chilled truffle into the melted chocolate, ensuring an even coating. Allow excess chocolate to drip off.
07 -
Before the chocolate sets, top each truffle with sprinkles, chopped Oreos, or a fine chocolate drizzle, according to preference.
08 -
Return coated truffles to the refrigerator until the chocolate has hardened completely.
09 -
Arrange chilled truffles on a serving platter and enjoy.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For smoother melted chocolate, mix in a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening during melting.
02 -
Do not freeze truffle balls excessively before coating to prevent cracks in the chocolate shell.
03 -
For enhanced mint flavor, add a few drops of peppermint extract to the truffle base or melted chocolate.

Using a fork or proper dipping tool ensures a smooth, even coating.
