Are you ready for some truffles?? I can’t seem to make enough truffles to make everyone happy around here. Seems no sooner do I get them photographed – everyone is begging for more. That’s where these Rainbow Mint Oreo Truffles come in.
So we have been buying the mint Oreo’s for months now. I have been meaning to make this recipe for a long time- minus the rainbow sprinkles. But then people keep eating said Oreo’s & back to the store I go. So now that we are close enough to St’ Patrick’s Day
Mint Truffles Recipe
I figured it would be great to use those Oreo’s to make these Rainbow Mint Oreo Truffles. Rainbows are just so happy – then you add the flavor of mint & chocolate – you just can’t help but smile.
Bring these to your St. Patrick’s Day party – how fun!!
Mint & chocolate – it’s a wonderful combo. I love this time of year because it gives me an excuse to pair them more frequently.

Can you use peppermint extract in place of the spearmint essential oil?
Hi Jessica – for these, if you are using the mint Oreos – it’s okay to omit the additional spearmint flavoring if you would like. You can add about 1/8 tsp peppermint extract – however it can be pretty strong & compete with the flavor already in the Oreos. I wouldn’t recommend any more than that for this recipe.
Thank you! I have a little experience with peppermint extract, I was making a chocolate peppermint bark over the holidays and accidentally spilled waaayyyyy more than I was supposed to into the mixture. After eating it I actually felt like I had just brushed my teeth! Lol ๐
