You are either gonna love me or hate me after this post.
It’s dangerously good…. like seriously…
I wanted to eat all of them.
If you gift these or take them to a party…
you will be asked for the recipe.
and will take home an empty plate.
The lovely people of OREO messaged me if I wanted to
try out their new Peppermint OREO flavor..
They had me at OREO!!!
Awesome mail day when OREOS are delivered to your door.
It’s a delicious seasonal cookie that is one of their most popular
flavors and available only at Food Lion!
The cookies also arrived with a cute recipe card for
Peppermint-Oreo Cookie Balls. It was a must that we try this recipe!
It’s an easy no bake recipe perfect for the holidays! or…
after school treat on an ordinary day. ;)
PEPPERMINT-OREO COOKIE BALLS
INGREDIENTS:
1 pkg. (8oz.) brick of cream cheese, softened
1 pkg. OREO Cookies with Peppermint Creme, finely crushed
4 pkg. (4 oz. each) semi-sweet baking chocolate melted
8 Starlight mints(or candy canes), coarsely crushed
STEPS:
Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until well blended.
(I use clean hands for this part. just the easiest.)
Shape into 48 (1inch) balls. Freeze 10 min. Dip balls in melted chocolate;
place in single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan. Sprinkle with candy.
Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm. Store in tightly covered container in refrigerator.
The peppermint cookies are almost too pretty to crush up.
almost.
get messy! mix them the cream cheese and crushed OREOS up with clean hands.
quick and easy. This recipe makes up FAST.
To make for easy dipping, do small batches.
I would drop 4 into the melted chocolate and then used forks to remove them and
let the excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. I was working with children at
my feed(literally… micah was at my feet under the table. being trouble and loving life.)
So mine aren’t as pretty as they could be if you had a kid free kitchen ;)
But once you get the hang of it this part goes smoothly and quickly.
Be sure to sprinkle the crushed up peppermint right after you take those four out,
or else they will harden and they won’t stick!
I need to gift these ASAP before I eat them all.
they are amazing, I need to pass on the goodness.
If you like thin mints? this is going to be your favorite treat to make!
If you like chocolate. peppermint. and OREOS… this is your dream recipe.
