Ingredients
16 oz. package regular Oreo cookies
8 oz. package cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 teaspoons peppermint extract

In a medium bowl, crush the Oreo cookies into fine crumbs.
Add the softened cream cheese and peppermint extract to the cookie crumbs. Mix until the ingredients are well blended and the mixture is smooth.

Once chilled, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.
Dip each ball into the melted chocolate, candy coat, or almond bark, ensuring they are completely coated.
