Weight Watchers Friendly Mint Oreo Truffles

• 1 standard package of reduced-fat Mint Oreo cookies (usually called Oreo Thins Mint)
• 1 block (8 oz) of reduced-fat or fat-free cream cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
• 2 cups white chocolate chip morsels, sugar-free or reduced-sugar if available
• 1/2 cup green candy melts (try to find sugar-free or reduced-sugar varieties)

Optional:

• Reserve a few Oreos to pulse separately for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prepare Cookie Crumbs:
   • Use a food processor to pulse the reduced-fat Mint Oreos until they form fine crumbs. If you want to garnish the truffles, reserve 3 or 4 cookies from the package and pulse them separately for later use. Pour the cookie crumbs into a large bowl.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • Add the block of reduced-fat cream cheese and the peppermint extract to the bowl. Use your hands, a large spoon, or a spatula to mix the cookie crumbs and cream cheese together until fully combined. The mixture should be moist with no visible cream cheese.
3. Form Truffles:
   • Scoop the crumb and cream cheese mixture into small balls, about 1.5 tablespoons each, and place them on a plate. Chill the truffles in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to firm them up before dipping in chocolate.
4. Melt Chocolate:
   • Once the truffles are chilled, melt the white chocolate chips and green candy melts in a heatproof bowl in the microwave. Heat them in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until fully melted.
5. Dip Truffles:
   • Dip each Oreo ball into the melted chocolate, using a fork to scoop them out and letting the excess chocolate drip off. Place the truffles on a plate or baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If desired, garnish with reserved Oreo crumbs or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
6. Final Chill:
   • Return the truffles to the refrigerator to set for another 15-20 minutes. Once the chocolate is dry, they are ready to serve.
