- 14 ounce package Oreos 36 regular Oreos
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- 1 teaspoon peppermint extract
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 10 ounces chocolate melting wafers
- Crushed peppermint pieces
Add the Oreos to a food processor and pulse until a fine crumb forms.
Add in the cream cheese, peppermint extract, and salt and pulse until combined. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
Use a medium (2 tablespoon) cookie scoop to scoop out the mixture and roll into balls. Place the balls on a parchment lined cookie sheet and then chill for 15 to 30 minutes.
Melt the melting wafers in a small bowl on 30-second intervals, stirring between each on until fully melted.
Use a spoon and fork to dip and coat the balls, then transfer back to the parchment paper to set completely.
Top with sprinkles or crushed peppermint pieces before the chocolate sets.
