Mint OREO Balls Recipe
What’s not to love about these sweet treats? They’re OREO and mint, perfectly combined in every single bite.
Not only are these crazy easy to make, but they scream holiday-time must-haves! I’ve been whipping these up for years for holiday parties, and I NEVER come home with leftovers. They go that quickly!
If you make these in advance, you’ll want to store this delicious dessert in a tightly covered container in the refrigerator. That way, they’ll stay fresh and yummy until it’s time to eat!
Do I have to keep these in the fridge?
Yes, the added ingredients must be kept in the fridge until you are ready to eat them.
But don’t worry—they’re delicious chilled! If you don’t want them cold, just remove them a short time before eating, and they’ll return to close to room temperature without an issue.
I always keep them cold until serving them, then let everyone eat before returning the leftovers to the fridge.

What is the best way to dip the balls into the chocolate?
Add the balls in batches to a bowl of melted chocolate to coat the balls easily with the melted chocolate. Use two forks to roll the balls in the chocolate until evenly coated.
Remove the balls with forks, letting excess chocolate drip back into the bowl. Place the balls in the prepared pan and let them stand until firm.
This way, you’ll fully coat without wasting a ton of excess!

Do you plan to make these cookie balls for the holiday, or another time of year?
Melting white is tricky and I failed. It is quite a mess even after calling 800 Nestle co.
The picture is pretty but this effort has wasted 12 oz of chocolate and a whole bag of Oreo cookies
Really? I am like the world’s worst at this kind of thing and I found it easy -of course, I did have to practice a bit. 🙂
Those sound like a nice summer treat.
Recently moved to Australia, and miss my oreos! Sometimes I find them here, and when I do, I’m going to make these!
Thanks for linking up in my Oreo #100 Birthday party!!! Love these.
