These 3-ingredient, no-bake Mint Oreo Truffles are a quick and easy St. Patrick's Day treat!
I love an easy recipe, and these Mint Oreo Truffles are fun, no-bake treat! In fact, it's so easy that the kids can help, and they are sure to be a hit for St. Patrick's Day! Not only are the truffles delicious, but the addition of festive sprinkles make them such a cute holiday goodie to share with friends. There are lots of ways to change this easy recipe up for any holiday or occasion, and I'm so excited to show you how!
As the title states, this easy recipe only needs 3 ingredients! The first and most important ingredient are the mint Oreo cookies. Mint is a popular flavor for St. Patrick's Day, but you can substitute with other Oreo flavors if you'd rather. You will also need some white and green candy melts and festive St. Patrick's Day sprinkles.
Crush the cookies, cream and all, into a fine crumb. You can do this by putting them into a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with your hands or a rolling pin, or you can put the cookies into a food processor and pulse them to crumbs.
Once crushed, keep the cookies in the food processor or add the crumbs to a large mixing bowl. Add in the softened cream cheese and mix together until you get a thick, paste-like consistency.
Once the truffles are cooled, it's time to add the chocolate coating! You can use any kind of chocolate, or add some color by using candy melts. Dip the truffles into the melted chocolate using a fork or toothpick, and set them back onto the baking sheet. To decorate the truffles, drizzle with colored candy melts and top with festive St. Patrick's Day sprinkles!
