Instructions
1. Prepare a baking tray with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
2. Whip the cream cheese until light and fluffy, then pour in the vanilla extract and whip again until smooth.
3. Pour half of the crushed peppermints into the cream cheese and stir to combine. Pour in the crushed Oreos and stir again until combined.
4. Using a 1-inch cookie scoop or your hands scoop out a one inch ball of Oreo mixture. Press a Hershey’s kiss into the center of the dough and form the dough around it, then roll it into a ball and place on prepared baking sheet.
5. Repeat the process until all of the Oreo mixture has been used. Refrigerate balls for 30 minutes, or until they are fairly chilled.
6. Five minutes before removing the Oreo balls from the fridge, heat the white chocolate in the microwave, thirty seconds at a time, stirring between each time until smooth and runny. Repeat the melting process for the milk chocolate as well.
7. Remove the Oreo balls from the fridge and use a fork to dip each Oreo balls individually into the white chocolate or milk chocolate. (I like to do half milk chocolate and half white chocolate.) Set them back onto the baking tray to let them cool completely. The chocolate will harden quickly because the Oreo balls are chilled!
8. If the chocolate you dipped the balls into has hardened a bit, microwave it for another 30 seconds, stir and then drizzle the milk chocolate dipped balls with white chocolate and sprinkle them immediately with the remaining crushed peppermints.
9. Repeat the process with the milk chocolate drizzled onto the white chocolate balls and sprinkle them with crushed peppermint as well.
10. Let them cool completely then serve!
Notes
Storage:
These peppermint Oreo balls can be stored for up to 1 week in an airtight container in the fridge. Do not leave these at room temperature for too long because of the cream cheese in the filling.
