Minty Chocolates Snowballs are a fun holiday dish of Oreo Truffles. Chocolate cookie crumbs, cream cheese, and creamy mint candies are combined in these delicious, enslaving Christmas candies.

I like to keep these simple by rolling the finished balls in powdered sugar to resemble snowballs, but you can dip them in chocolates mainly white chocolate if you like.

Ingredients:

=> 1 package (18 oz) cream-filled sandwich cookies, like Oreos
=> 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened to room temperature
=> 1/2 tsp mint extract
=> 1 package (12.5 oz) creamy chocolate mints, like Junior Mints
=> 14 oz chocolate-flavored candy coating (optional)
=> 1 cup powdered sugar (optional)

How to Make:

1:) Make a baking sheet by lining it with aluminum foil and set aside for now.

2:) Place the sandwich cookies in a food processor and blend until they are in fine crumbs, stopping several times to commotion the mixture and scrape the sides to assure an even blending.

3:) Once the cookies are subtracted  to crumbs, add the mint extract and the chunks of cream cheese and process until the mixture comes together and you can no longer see any small part of cream cheese.

4:) Utensil the mixture into small balls using a candy scoop or a small spoon. Press a mint into the center of each ball and roll it between your hands to round it out. Place the balls on the ready baking sheet and refrigerate them until firm, about 1 hour.

5:) I like the finish the balls by rolling them in powdered sugar so they coincide snowballs. If they are rolled in powdered sugar, they are best stored in an airtight pot in the refrigerator, as they can become soft if left at room temperature for a long period of time.

6:) Preferably, you can swim the balls in chocolate coating, which will enable you to keep them at room temperature without the balls getting too soft. To dip them, place the chocolates candy coating in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, moving after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating.

7:) Using a fork or dipping tools, dip the balls in the melted candy coating and allow the balance to drip back into the bowl. Place the dipped balls back on the foil-covered baking sheet and repeat with remaining candy. Refrigerate to set chocolate coating totally, then serve or store in an airtight container.
