Mint Oreo Truffles

These Mint Oreo Truffles are the no-bake treat you didn’t know you needed. Each bite delivers a creamy, minty punch wrapped in silky chocolate and topped with a hint of crunch. With just a handful of ingredients and zero oven time, they’re the perfect make-ahead dessert for parties, holidays, or those midweek sweet cravings.

The magic begins with mint Oreo cookies crushed to perfection, then blended with rich cream cheese to form an irresistibly fudgy center. They’re then dipped in a smooth green candy coating and finished with a sprinkle of crushed cookies for that satisfying crunch. Easy to assemble and dangerously addictive, these truffles are ideal for both beginner bakers and seasoned pros.

What Kind of Oreos Should I Use?

For this recipe, Mint Oreo cookies are essential—they provide that refreshing burst of mint that balances the rich, chocolatey base. If you’re a fan of intense mint flavor, the “Mint Creme” double-stuffed version adds even more punch. Avoid using classic Oreos unless you’re looking to create a different flavor profile.

Ingredients for the Mint Oreo Truffles

Mint Oreo Cookies: These are the base of your truffle. Their combination of chocolate cookies and minty filling delivers all the flavor you need in one.

Cream Cheese: Softened cream cheese binds the crushed cookies together and gives the truffles their fudgy, cheesecake-like texture.

Green Candy Melts or White Chocolate with Green Dye: This coating gives the truffles a vibrant, festive look and adds a slight snap when you bite into them.

Crushed Oreo Crumbs: A sprinkle of extra crumbs on top adds texture and visual appeal.

How To Make the Mint Oreo Truffles

Step 1: Crush the Cookies

Place the Mint Oreos in a food processor and pulse until they become fine crumbs. Reserve a tablespoon for topping.

Step 2: Make the Truffle Base

Mix the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese until fully combined. The mixture should be thick and fudgy.

Step 3: Roll Into Balls

Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Step 4: Chill the Truffles

Freeze the truffles for about 20–30 minutes to help them firm up before dipping.

Step 5: Dip in Chocolate

Melt your green candy melts (or white chocolate with food coloring) and dip each truffle until fully coated. Place them back on the sheet.

Step 6: Decorate and Set

While the coating is still wet, sprinkle with the reserved Oreo crumbs. Let them sit until the chocolate hardens completely.
