Peppermint Oreo Truffle Cups recipe made with only 4 ingredients. These are so easy to make, they are a great dessert or snack idea for Christmas or St. Patrick’s Day.
So… can you tell I like chocolate yet?
Looking through my most recent posts, 8 out of the past 10 have had some kind of chocolate in it. And the only reason the other two didn’t have chocolate in it was because one was crockpot spicy chicken drumsticks and the other was roasted carrots, potatoes and beets. Two recipes that are a little difficult to add chocolate to.
And then, there are these Peppermint Oreo Truffle Cups. I don’t know if I will be making too many chocolate recipes after this, because this recipe is perfection.
What do you need for this Peppermint Oreo Truffle Cups recipe?
First you will need a food processor. My favourite food processor is this one, which is what I use on the regular. It is also pretty cheap as food processors go, and has lasted me a long time.
Next: peppermint oreos!! I haven’t seen these sold in Canada until a couple of weeks ago, so I grabbed as many packs as could fit in my basket. People must think I gave up on my New Years resolutions a little early this year.
Another reason why I would love to live in the States. You walk into a 7-11 and they have more flavours of oreos than you can find in all of Toronto. I make 99.9% of my decisions based off of food, so wherever I am moving next you can bet that I will be weighing in on if there is a good enough grocery store by our place.
Next up, your cream cheese. You know it is going to be good when you add cream cheese! I choose full fat because, if you are going to be making truffles, you are already putting in a ton of chocolate into the mix. May as well use the good stuff to make it worth it. But, if you are still holding strong on your resolutions, low fat works as well.
Pulse it up real good in your food processor, then form little coins. And do yourself a favour and taste test. Like, a lot. All for research sake, right? No one needs to know.
Melting the chocolate for this recipe is one of my favourite parts. After pouring the chocolate into the muffin tin, I get the rest of the bowl to lick clean. And trust me when I say that the bowl gets very clean after I am done with it.
I like to keep these Peppermint Oreo Truffle Cups in the freezer because the chocolate is hard, but it keeps the inside soft. I love biting into cold chocolate, but if you want to you can keep it in your fridge for a softer feel. I am definitely making this again for St. Patrick’s day. That is, if I can make my peppermint oreos last that long!!

These look so good Cathleen, I have not seen peppermint oreos here yet, we just have the peanut butter or chocolate or strawberry filled cookies so I am going to be on the hunt for the peppermint oreos now 🙂 Hope to find it soon though because I would love to try out this recipe too 🙂
I have never seen any of those Oreo flavours you are describing!! Good luck on the Oreo hunt 🙂
I just love peppermint oreos! Yum! I haven’t ever tried them in a truffle form, so now I’m excited.
I hope you try them. Combining Oreos with chocolate is one of my favourite things!
Oreo cookies with peppermint is my favorite! Its sad that it was not available anymore in the Philippines. I dont know why they pulled out this flavour.
No way!! That sucks. I hope they bring it back, at least for the holidays next year!
That looks absolutely delicious !!! There’s nothing but cereal for a treat here lol. Great post!
Wow, you must have such self control! I am always making sweet treats 😉
OMG they look absolutely divine! Thanks for sharing the recipe, I will need to give them a try!
I hope you do. They are so good!!
These are good looking and it look so yummy 😋. Thank you for this post .
Your welcome. And it tastes good too 😉
Mint chocolate has always been my favorite, and those Oreos are my go to when grabbing those cookies. These cups look and sound so good.
Thanks!! I am trying to make mint chocolate things year round, so I don’t need to wait for Christmas to get my fix!
I’ve always loved peppermint Oreo’s!! Hopefully they return to the Philippines one day.
I hope so too! It’s a great flavour!
Yum, i am really craving this right now, love how bite sized and dainty they look. Delicious.
Haha, thanks! It only means I can eat more 😉
These look horribly delicious. I like mint oreos!!! Thankfully I dont have all the ingredients on hand otherwise I would make them now!! These might make Valentines or Superbowl treat status.
Haha, I am like that too! Also it comes together in less than 15 mins so you would have no excuse not to!
Oh my goodness how absolutely delicious do these sound., I wouldn’t have thought of using oreos to make truffle cups but I need to give it a whirl now.
I hope you do. It is so quick to make too!
Love chocolates in any form and these truffles look really tempting. Melting chocolate and licking off the residue is indeed very tempting too.
Haha, it’s the best part about making these 😉
Oh my, they look so delicious and the recipe is genius! I’ll definitely try, I think I’ll make the recipe with normal oreos though, since I haven’t seen peppermint oreos here!
This is too bad! But they would work great with normal oreos too.
The Peppermint Oreo Truffle Cups looks so fun! I would like to try them soon. Maybe I’ll bake it on the weekends.
Actually they are no bake, so you won’t need to turn on your oven!
Those truffle cups have my name allover lol, I can’t wait to try your recipe 😀
Haha, and my hands all over it. I hope you try it!
That is a really great snack. Mint Oreos are one of the best, hands down.
They are so good!! I can’t believe they don’t sell them everywhere!
These look and sound good. What a unique recipe. My problem with Oreos is to keep everyone away from them until I have time to make delicious stuff, like your truffles, with them. I’m guilty of this too though so I can’t get mad.
Haha!! I totally understand. That sounds like my house!
The U.K. is the same with Oreos, they have only started selling mint, peanut butter, strawberry cheesecake and golden ones in the last 18 months. We never get the special seasonal ones you see in the USA. Which is probably a good thing for my waistline! These look fab and I know they wouldn’t last long around me.
True. But the UK has such amazing chocolate for so cheap! I bring back half a suitcase every time I visit!
The New Year has just began and you’re already tempting me with these delicious treats? Curses! Better start jogging more to make up for these yummy treats.
Haha, they are so worth it.
I am craving chocolate right now and look what I have come across. No but for real these look delicious.
Thanks Melissa! I am always craving chocolate 🙂
Such a delicious way to enjoy Peppermint Oreos. Loving this truffles idea.
Me too! I can’t get enough chocolate!
