Ingredients

  • 1 package of Oreos
  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • 1 1/2 - 2 tsp peppermint extract
  • 16 oz white chocolate chips
  • 3/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp almond extract

  • Pulse candy canes until crushed, remove to small bowl.
  • Pulse oreos until they are fine crumbs, remove to large bowl.

  • Scoop out about a tablespoon of the truffle "dough" and roll into a ball with your hands.
  • Place ball on prepared baking sheet, continue with remaining dough.
  • Freeze the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
  • Stir vanilla and almond extracts into the white chocolate chips, then melt white chocolate mixture.
  • Dip truffles in the chocolate to coat and allow excess mixture to run off (using 2 forks).
