Ingredients
  1. 1 Package Mint Oreos
  2. 4-6 oz Cream Cheese
  3. Vanilla Melting Wafers
  4. Mint Chips (optional)
Instructions
  1. Place oreos in a food processor until crumbly.
  2. Mix in about 4-6 oz cream cheese with your hands until smooth and creamy.
  3. Use a 1 tablespoon cookie scoop to portion out and roll into smooth balls. Refrigerate for 15 minutes.
  4. Carefully melt your Guittard vanilla wafers (or other melting chocolate) and dip being careful not to leave the balls in the melt too long or it will cease the chocolate due to the moisture. Allow to harden on parchment paper. If you want to get all fancy, you can drizzle a little bit of melted mint chips in the shape of a Christmas tree! (Just melt the chips carefully in the microwave in a heavy duty ziplock and snip off the end to create your own piping bag)
Notes
  1. These are so fun for a Christmas potluck, cookie exchange or gifts! Enjoy!

The best part is that they are super duper easy. With only 3 ingredients. I’m still not quite sure why I don’t tell everyone I slaved over them all day long or it took 3 days to make…
I actually brought the supplies to work and we made some there!
(Not those pictured)
I did a little mint truffle tutorial for all my coworkers and it was a ton of fun. We all had to work Christmas day so I thought I would at least make it fun!
