   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 Ghirardelli 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.
