What are Mint Oreo Balls made of?

Mint Oreo Balls are typically made from crushed Mint Oreo cookies, cream cheese, and melted chocolate for coating. Some recipes include added mint extract or food coloring for a more intense flavor and color.

How long do Mint Oreo Balls last?

Mint Oreo Balls can last for up to a week in the refrigerator if stored properly in an airtight container. For longer storage, they can be frozen for up to 2-3 months.

Can I use regular Oreos instead of Mint Oreos?

Yes, you can use regular Oreos. However, you will need to add mint extract to the cream cheese mixture to achieve the mint flavor. Start with a small amount and adjust to taste.

What is the best way to melt chocolate for dipping Mint Oreo Balls?

The best way to melt chocolate is using a double boiler or a microwave. If using a microwave, melt the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring in between to prevent burning. You can also add a bit of coconut oil for a smoother consistency.

These Mint Oreo Balls are a no bake dessert, perfect for any occasion. They are refreshing, minty, and so easy to make!

Ingredients

Scale

1 package (14.3 ounces) Mint Oreos
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
12 ounces semi sweet chocolate chips
1 teaspoon vegetable shortening (optional, for smoother melting)
Green sprinkles

Instructions

Crush the Mint Oreos in a food processor until they’re finely ground. You can also do this by placing them in a Ziploc bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed Mint Oreos and softened cream cheese. Mix until well combined. The mixture should form a dough like consistency.
Roll the mixture into 1 inch balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Melt the semi sweet chocolate chips with the vegetable shortening (if using) in a double boiler or in the microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s fully coated. You can use a fork or dipping tools for this step.
Place the dipped balls back onto the parchment paper and immediately sprinkle with green sprinkles or other decorations of your choice.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set completely. Serve chilled.
