Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Chocolate sandwich cookies
- 4 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 teaspoons Peppermint extract
- 12 ounces White chocolate chips
- 5 drops Green food coloring
- 6 ounces Dark chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Crushed peppermint candies or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Place the chocolate sandwich cookies in a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Alternatively, place them in a resealable bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cookie crumbs, softened cream cheese, and peppermint extract. Mix well until the mixture forms a smooth dough-like consistency.
Roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze for 15 minutes to firm up.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips in 30-second increments, stirring between each increment, until smooth.
Add the green food coloring to the melted white chocolate and mix until the color is evenly distributed.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each cookie ball into the green-colored white chocolate, ensuring it is fully coated. Tap off any excess chocolate and place the ball back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl using the same 30-second increment method, stirring until smooth.
Drizzle the melted dark chocolate over the coated balls for a decorative finish. Optionally, sprinkle crushed peppermint candies or sprinkles over the top before the chocolate sets.
Let the candies sit at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator until the chocolate is completely set.
Store the Mint Cookie Candies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. Enjoy!
