Instructions
Place Oreos, cream cheese and peppermint extract (if using) in a food processor with the blade attachment and process until completely crushed and starting to ball up.
Roll mix into 1-inch balls (about 1-2 teaspoons of cookie mixture) and place on a lined baking sheet. Freeze for at least 15 minutes or until completely firm, otherwise they may fall apart during coating.
Melt 8 oz of chocolate according to package instructions. Coat the Oreo truffles with chocolate (see IMPORTANT notes and instructions in the post above to keep them from falling apart!!) and place back on the lined baking sheet.
If wanting to coat twice, place them in the freezer until firm and then repeat the coating process. Otherwise, immediately sprinkle with the crushed candy canes and freeze until firm, then store in the fridge or freezer.
