TRUFFLE MAKING TIPS
A trick to creating the correct peppermint Oreo truffles, is this gadget. It’s one among my ideal ten kitchen utensils. So placed one in your Christmas checklist stat.

Crush the Oreos WHOLE. Do no longer sit in your kitchen and scrape the white Oreo filling from every cookie. To be honest, that sounds like a few variety of torture.

I used vanilla almond bark for the coating. But you possibly can use no matter you want, regardless of even if that be almond bark, sweet melts, or melting chocolate. Just get a minimum of 8 ounces simply due to the fact that’s precisely how a lot I needed.

For the beaten sweet cane topping, I typically placed sweet canes in a ziploc bag and crush the sweet canes with the backside of a glass. But as I was walking by Michael’s, I got here throughout a bag of Candy Cane Crunch. I had a 50% off coupon (I assume it was $3-4) so I threw a bag in my cart. So within the event you don’t desire to spend time crushing sweet canes, head to Michael’s and seize a bag of this stuff.

To hold the white chocolate white, refrigerate the muffins for a minimum of one hour. Then, melt somewhat little bit of chocolate at a time, dip the truffles, and repeat. As a result, the chocolate won’t get as dingy-looking from the darkish truffles.


One of the issues I love about this recipe is that those might be made a day or NULL in advance. Just hold them within the fridge till you’re competent to serve them.

Similarly, if you’re a peppermint lover like like me, be certain to test out my peppermint pattie brownies, peppermint chocolate cookies, and chocolate peppermint sandwich cookies.
