03 - Add softened cream cheese to the crumbs. Pulse until fully combined into a thick, uniform dough.
04 - Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared baking sheet.
05 - Freeze the balls for 30 minutes to firm up before coating.

07 - Using forks, dip each chilled truffle into melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off. Return to baking sheet.
08 - Immediately sprinkle with reserved crushed cookies or drizzle with melted white chocolate if desired.
09 - Refrigerate truffles for at least 30 minutes until chocolate is completely set.
10 - Serve chilled or at room temperature.
# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- They look like you spent hours but come together in under 30 minutes of active time
- The combination of cool mint filling and dark chocolate coating is absolutely addictive
02 -
- Getting the truffle centers fully frozen before dipping is non negotiable or the chocolate coating will slide right off in patches
- If your chocolate suddenly turns thick and grainy while melting add a teaspoon of coconut oil and stir gently to bring it back
03 -
- Work quickly when dipping because warmth from your hands and room temperature will start softening the centers
- Tap the fork gently against the bowl edge to remove excess chocolate instead of shaking which can send truffles flying across the kitchen
