Tips For Making Peppermint Oreo Truffles
- Do NOT remove the filling from the oreos. Place the whole oreo cookies in your food processor and process until finely ground.
- To crush the candy canes, I put them in a ziploc bag and bang on them with my heavy marble rolling pin.
- For the white chocolate coating, I use Ghiradelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers, but you could use white almond bark.
- Make sure the balls are chilled well before dipping in the melted chocolate so they will hold their shape.
- They should be refrigerated until you are ready to serve them.
- Can be frozen for 2 to 3 months. Let them defrost in the refrigerator or at room temperature before serving.
