Ingredients

20 ounces mint Oreos
8 ounces cream cheese softened
10 small snack size York Peppermint Patties
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped Andes mints
16 ounces Ghirardelli melting wafers (dark or light chocolate)

Instructions

In a stand mixer or with a hand mixer, beat Oreos and cream cheese together for 2 minutes.
Add in the York Peppermint Patties and powdered sugar. Beat until smooth.
Fold in the chopped Andes mints. Refrigerate the truffle mixture for 1 hour.
Roll the truffle mixture into 1 1/4 inch balls. Place on a baking sheet covered in parchment paper and put them in the freezer to harden. This will make them easier to dip in chocolate!
Melt the Ghirardelli wafers in a microwave safe bowl for about 30 seconds. Stir and melt in 10 second intervals until the chocolate is smooth.
Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip the frozen truffle balls in the chocolate, covering completely. Allow the chocolate to drip then place them on a piece of parchment paper to set. While the chocolate is still wet, garnish the tops with additional chopped Andes mints.
Allow the chocolate on the truffles to set completely. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
