Equipment

  • measuring spoon
  • Microwaveable Bowl
  • Tray
  • Spoon
  • parchment paper

Ingredients

  • 36 Oreos
  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 package Green candy melts
  • 1 teaspoon Paramount Crystals
  • Heart candies
  • Sprinkles

Instructions

  • Crush the Oreos into a fine crumb. Combine crushed oreos with cream cheese, vanilla extract and peppermint extract (optional). Scoop mixture into round balls and place onto tray.
  • Melt the chocolate in the microwave by microwaving in 30 second increments, stirring in between each session. Remove bowl from microwave just before fully melted. Stir until smooth.
  • Add about 1 teaspoon of paramount crystals and stir until dissolved. This will thin out the chocolate so that it goes farther.
  • Drop the oreo balls into the chocolate. Use a spoon to move the ball around a bit, then scoop it out and set it on the tray. Before the chocolate sets, place a heart candy and sprinkles on top.
  • Allow the oreo balls to set until completely firm.
