This is my first go at Oreo truffles – it probably won’t be my last! I decided to use mint Oreos, after I couldn’t find strawberry Oreos (I thought they had quit making them, but I’ve seen people using them again recently).
I cut the popular Oreo truffles recipe in half – you can find that recipe in this post – because a package of mint Oreos is smaller than a package of regular Oreos.
I used 21 mint Oreos, 4-5 ounces cream cheese and 4 ounces Ghirardelli semisweet chocolate. I believe the extra cream cheese I added to the crumbled cookie mixture was a little too much – the truffles are gooier than they’re supposed to be (but that’s fine with me, they’re still very yummy!). Also, 4 ounces of the Ghirardelli chocolate wasn’t quite enough to coat all the truffles. I ended up with 20 truffles.
Yum, these look great, I love chocolate mint.
Nothing wrong with extra gooeyness! They look delicious!
mmm… Oreos are best enjoyed truffled. :)
The mint oreo truffles are by far my favorites. I did find the strawberry milkshake oreos recently and made those into truffles too. No complaints here. They were tasty.
Michelle, I’m still trying to find the strawberry Oreos in my grocery stores but no luck yet! :(
I haven’t made oreo truffles either though I keep saying I will & soon. Thanks for reminding me.

I am not a big mint lover but I could use rum with this. It looks delicious.
