Instructions

Crush the Oreos – In a food processor, blend the Mint Oreos until they become fine crumbs. (Or crush them in a ziplock bag with a rolling pin.)
Mix with cream cheese – In a large bowl, mix the Oreo crumbs and softened cream cheese until well combined. Stir in peppermint extract if using.
Shape the balls – Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Chill – Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or freeze for 15 minutes, until firm.
Dip in chocolate – Melt the chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between. Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, then place back on the parchment-lined sheet.
Decorate – Sprinkle with green sprinkles or crushed Oreos before the chocolate sets.
Set & serve – Let the Oreo balls set at room temperature or chill in the fridge until the chocolate hardens.

Notes

Storage: Keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week or freeze for up to 3 months.
Variations: Use dark chocolate, white chocolate, or green candy melts for different looks!
No food processor? Just crush the Oreos in a sealed plastic bag with a rolling pin.
