Want a quick and easy holiday recipe you can make with the kids? When you don’t have time to bake, but you still want to give a homemade holiday treat, try this recipe for Peppermint Oreos!
Quick & Easy Peppermint Oreos
Ingredients:
- 1 Pkg. of Oreo cookies
- 1 Pkg. of peppermint candies
- 1 Pkg. of white chocolate chips
Instructions:
Place the peppermint candies in a double ziploc bags. Let the kids hammer them to smithereens! (I placed scrap wood under the peppermints to protect the countertop.)
While the kids are pounding away to their heart’s content. Melt white chocolate chips in a double boiler (or in the microwave. But, the double boiler will keep the chocolate from hardening as fast.)
Pry the hammers from your kid’s hands. Place the crushed peppermints into shallow bowls (one for each child.)
Roll the edge of the oreo cookies into the white chocolate.
Then roll them into the crushed peppermints.
Lay the cookies onto wax paper to cool.
After they cool, eat them, gift them or save them for a snowy day.
A bunch of oreos would fit nicely in one of these decorated gift bags made from a cloth napkin, don’t you think?

Yummy, and how easy! Have you tried making truffles with crushed oreos and cream cheese? Roll in melted chocolate and you have another easy no-bake recipe!
You know what would make these even better? Use the peppermint Oreos! You can also get knock-off versions that are very, very tasty at Aldi.
Yummy! Looks delicious! And festive too with the red spots!
They are delicious, my daughter will love them!
