Mint Oreo Truffles are rich, no-bake treats made with crushed mint Oreos and cream cheese, dipped in smooth and creamy Andes mint chocolate. Their creamy, chocolatey, and minty flavor makes them an irresistible bite-sized delight.
Mint Oreo Truffles
Mint Oreo truffles with a rich, creamy, cool mint filling encased in a smooth mint chocolate shell are the perfect bite-sized dessert for any occasion.
They're easy to make with no baking required and minimal ingredients. Plus, they're simple to customize for holiday treats, gifts, or a quick sweet snack, with festive sprinkles or a drizzle of white chocolate.
Mint Oreo Truffles Variations
- Different Chocolate Coatings – Try white, dark, or milk chocolate.
- Extra Mint Flavor – Add a few drops of mint extract to the Oreo mixture. Be sure to use plain mint extract, as peppermint will have a different flavor.
- Holiday-Themed Truffles – Use colored sprinkles for festive occasions. Top with red and green for Christmas or green and gold for St Patrick's Day!
- Nutty Crunch – Add finely chopped nuts, such as almonds, pecans, or hazelnuts, to the mixture for extra texture and flavor.
- Oreos - This recipe will work for any Oreo flavor. Here's my original Oreo Truffles recipe. I recommend using plain semi-sweet or white chocolate instead of the Andes chocolate if you change Oreo flavors.
How to Serve Mint Oreo Truffles
Mint Oreo Truffles are pretty and festive treats that are perfect for parties and holidays, especially Christmas or St. Patrick's Day.
Serve with a cup of hot cocoa, such as this Mint White Hot Chocolate, coffee, or a glass of milk for a delightful treat.
They also make pretty gifts or additions to dessert tray. To gift, place the truffles in decorative boxes or cellophane bags tied with ribbons. Use seasonal cupcake liners or holiday-themed sprinkles to match the occasion.
Combine Mint Oreo Truffles with other bite-sized desserts like brownies, cookies, or chocolate-covered strawberries for a diverse dessert spread, or pair it with some of these cool mint treats to continue the theme.

Mint Oreo Truffles
Ingredients
- 1 package (14 ounces) mint Oreo cookies
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 2 packages (4.67 ounces each) Andes Creme de Menthe Thins
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate
- 1 teaspoon cooking oil
- 6 ounces white chocolate OPTIONAL for decorating and drizzling (or other favorite chocolate)
- Green Food coloring optional
Instructions
Prepare the Truffles
- Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Set aside.
- Place the Oreos in a food processor and blend until they form fine crumbs

- Roll into 1-inch balls, and set aside onto prepared baking sheet. Freeze for 30 minutes.
Dip in Chocolate
- Place the Andes chocolate and semi-sweet chocolate in a medium microwave-safe bowl with vegetable oil. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir. Then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each increments, until chocolate is melted and smooth.
- Remove Oreo balls from the freezer. Gently drop them into the melted chocolate, one at a time, turning to coat. Lift the truffle out of the chocolate with a fork and slide the bottom of the fork along the top of the bowl to allow excess chocolate to drip off. Then set it on the wax paper.
- Repeat for remaining truffles.
- Once all truffles have been coated, refrigerate for at least 10 minutes to set.
Decorate
- Place white chocolate in a small microwave bowl. Microwave for 45 seconds. Stir. Then microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each increment, until chocolate is melted and smooth.

- Transfer white chocolate to a plastic baggy or piping bag.
- Cut a small corner off the baggy, and drizzle over set truffles.

Made these yesterday for Easter dinner, so pretty! I made another batch with milk chocolate and regular oreos and pastel sprinkles as well. What a pretty and festive dessert, perfect with after dinner coffee. My batches made less than 20 truffles each fyi and i feel like size was spot on although i could see making them a tad smaller. Very simple to make, although the refrigeration time to allow them to set between steps really is essential (although each step was quick and easy, and I would say the food processor is a must-I borrowed one and I`m glad I did). My suggestion is to make sure these are served cold-right from the fridge. Otherwise the texture of the oreos and cream cheese was mushy and not my favorite. I could see trying these again with different variations of flavored oreos and decorations depending on the occasion!
Karen Carlino says
Do these freeze well? I want to make them ahead of time for a baby shower. They look delicious! Thank you.
Michelle says
I've never frozen them, so I'm not sure. You can make them a day in advance and keep them in the refrigerator, though. If you freeze them, let us know how it goes!
