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
Add the cream cheese and process again to form a sticky dough.
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.
Add green food coloring, if desired, and stir to combine. Add more until you reach desired color.
Transfer white chocolate to a plastic baggy or piping bag.
Cut a small corner off the baggy, and drizzle over set truffles.
Chill or allow to sit at room temperature until set and firm, about 30 minutes longer.
