FAQs

Can I use regular Oreos instead of mint Oreos?

Yes, but the truffles won’t have a mint flavor. You can add peppermint extract to compensate.

How do I prevent my truffles from cracking?

Make sure the truffles are cold but not frozen solid before dipping them in warm chocolate.

What’s the best way to coat them evenly in chocolate?

Use a fork or dipping tool and tap off excess chocolate before placing them on a lined tray.

Can I make these ahead of time?

Yes! These truffles store well in the fridge or freezer, making them great for prepping in advance.

How do I thin out melted chocolate if it’s too thick?

Add a teaspoon of coconut oil or vegetable shortening to make the chocolate smoother.

Do I have to use white chocolate?

No, you can use milk, dark, or even a mix of chocolates for variety.

Can I use flavored cream cheese?

Plain cream cheese works best, but mint-flavored cream cheese would enhance the minty taste.

How do I make these truffles dairy-free?

Use dairy-free chocolate and a dairy-free cream cheese alternative.

Can I decorate them with something other than sprinkles?

Absolutely! Try crushed Oreos, chocolate drizzle, or edible gold dust for a fancy touch.

Why are my truffles sticky?

If the mixture is too soft, chill it longer before rolling into balls.
