Peppermint Oreo Truffles.

Can you even? I’m so excited it’s the silly season, where peppermint, eggnog and gingerbread rule. But today, it’s all about peppermint, chocolate and Oreos.

These 5 ingredient Peppermint Oreo Truffles boast a soft choc mint centre made from crushed Oreos and cream cheese, and are covered in dark chocolate and candy canes.

Can you say peppermint perfection? ❤️

I’ll take truffles in any shape and size, from rich Salted Caramel Truffles to smooth Chocolate Ganache Truffles – especially at this time of year.

But Oreo Truffles are truly my jam. This is basically a cheat’s recipe with the filling made from store bought Oreo cookies – but there is no snobbery in my kitchen.

I love easy recipes and this one is gold 👌🏻

These cute truffles are actually a spin off from my favourite Oreo Cheesecake Truffles. But these are extra special because of the minty goodness that comes from within, thanks to a dash of peppermint extract.

The Oreo truffles are then dipped in melted dark chocolate – or you could use milk or white chocolate if you prefer. The final touch? Shards of candy canes for an extra minty crunch.

Oreo Truffles like these are perfect for sharing because they’re super quick and easy to make, AND you can easily double the recipe to make enough for a party. Merry Christmas indeed.

Ooh and if you’re not a big mint fan, try my Oreo Cheesecake Truffles. They’re just as good, I promise.
