Peppermint OREO Cookie Balls.

I’m not kidding. 

There’s a NEW limited-edition flavor on grocery shelves nationwide–Peppermint.

Available for a limited time, they are the perfect holiday flavor.

I love that they’ve arrived.

While I’m first and foremost, a fan of any OREO and a glass of milk, sometimes shaking things up is good.

We spent an afternoon making a delicious treat with the world’s favorite cookie–easy-to-make-Peppermint OREO Cookie Balls!

They’re a combination between cookie and confection!

Peppermint OREO Cookie Balls Recipe Ingredients

  • 8-ounce package cream cheese, softened
  • 36 OREO Peppermint Cookies, finely crushed (Available only at Food Lion for a Limited Time)
  • 16 ounces semi-sweet baking chocolate, melted
  • 8 Star-light mints, crushed

Peppermint OREO Cookie Balls Recipe Directions

  1. Mix cream cheese and cookie crumbs until well blended.
  2. Shape into 48 (1-inch) balls.
  3. Freeze 10 min.
  4. Dip balls in melted chocolate
  5. Place in a single layer in shallow waxed paper-lined pan.
  6. Sprinkle with crushed starlight mints
  7. Refrigerate 1 hour or until firm.

Store tightly in an airtight container.

For Easier Dipping:

Use a toothpick to dip the cookie ball into melted chocolate; shake off excess chocolate then place on waxed paper.
 
This may leave just a small hole on top that can be covered with a tiny dab of chocolate.
