Peppermint Oreo Truffles – These easy no-bake treats are made with crushed Oreos, creamy filling, and crunchy peppermint bits. Dipped in chocolate and sprinkled with more peppermint, they’re the perfect festive dessert for any holiday gathering. Simple to make, yet sure to impress!
If you’re a fan of chocolate and peppermint together (and who isn’t during the holidays?), you’re going to love these Peppermint Oreo Truffles. They’re the perfect no-bake treat for when you need something festive and delicious without spending hours in the kitchen. I’ve made them every year for our holiday parties, and they’re always the first to disappear from the dessert tray
The process is simple: crush up a package of Oreos, mix them with cream cheese, and roll into bite-sized balls of minty goodness.
If you love this flavor combo but need something even simpler, try the Chocolate Peppermint Dipped Oreos. Want to take things up a notch? Check out my Peppermint Cookie Dough Stuffed Oreo Truffles for an extra indulgent twist.
What makes these truffles extra special are the bits of Andes peppermint pieces mixed into the filling and sprinkled on top—they add a little crunch and extra peppermint flavor that makes each bite taste like the holidays.
I love dipping half in white chocolate and half in dark chocolate, but you can get creative and decorate them however you like.

How To Make Peppermint Oreo Truffles
- Crush the Oreos – Use a food processor to blend the Oreos into fine crumbs.
- Mix the filling – Combine the Oreo crumbs with softened cream cheese and peppermint pieces until the mixture is smooth.
- Shape the truffles – Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls and place them on a lined baking sheet.
- Chill the truffles – Freeze the rolled truffles for about 30 minutes to help them firm up.
- Dip in chocolate – Melt your choice of chocolate and dip each truffle, covering it completely.
- Add the toppings – While the chocolate is still wet, sprinkle each truffle with extra peppermint bits.
- Let them set – Allow the dipped truffles to harden completely before serving or storing.
- Store and enjoy – Keep the finished truffles in the fridge until ready to serve.
Recipe Tips & Suggestions
- Use a cookie scoop for even truffles – A small cookie scoop makes it easy to portion the mixture evenly so all your truffles are the same size.
- Chill the truffles before dipping – Freezing the truffles for 30 minutes helps them hold their shape and makes dipping in melted chocolate much easier.
- Experiment with different chocolates – Try dipping the truffles in white chocolate, dark chocolate, or milk chocolate for a fun variety of flavors.
- Decorate with crushed candy canes – Instead of using peppermint bits, you can sprinkle the truffles with crushed candy canes for a festive, crunchy topping.
- Double the recipe for a crowd – These truffles are always a hit at parties, so consider making a double batch if you’re serving a large group.
- Store in the fridge or freezer – Keep the truffles chilled for the best texture. They can also be frozen for up to 3 months—just thaw them in the fridge before serving.
If the chocolate starts to thicken, warm it up again in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. You can also add a small amount of coconut oil or shortening to help keep it smooth and glossy.
Yes, if you don’t have a food processor, you can crush the Oreos in a resealable bag using a rolling pin. Just make sure the crumbs are very fine before mixing with the cream cheese.

I just made truffles for the first time ever around Easter but I definitely made them too big. Need a smaller scoop for uniform size. Can’t wait for this minty treat!
