Peppermint Crème Checkers

How to make Peppermint Crème Checkers Recipe

MAKES 24 PIECES

Ingredients:
8 ounces dark chocolate, chopped
8 ounces white chocolate, chopped
20 Oreo Cool Mint Crème cookies
4 ounces cream cheese, softened

Method:
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the dark chocolate, stirring every 30 seconds, until silky smooth. In a chocolate mold with 12 square cavities (or an ice cube tray) spoon enough chocolate to coat just the base.

In a separate bowl, melt the white chocolate. Coat the base of another 12-cavity mold. Refrigerate the molds to set.

Meanwhile, grind the cookies in a food processor to a fine meal. Add the cream cheese and blend until well combined. Remove the chocolate molds from the fridge. Use a teaspoon to scoop out a portion of the mixture, roll into a ball, and pop it onto a chocolate base.

Lightly press to spread almost to the edges. Repeat until all the cavities are filled. Remelt the chocolates, if necessary, and spoon in, covering the filling. Refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until set.

Optional:
If you don’t have chocolate molds or don’t want to use ice cube trays, it’s just as easy to roll the cookie mixture into balls and dip them in melted chocolate to coat.
