10 - Serve chilled or allow to reach room temperature before serving.

# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • These little gems disappear faster than you can say no bake which is saying something at my house
  • The mint chocolate combo hits that perfect spot between refreshing and indulgent without being overpowering
02 -
  • If the chocolate seizes and gets grainy you can sometimes rescue it with a teaspoon of coconut oil but honestly start fresh if it looks hopeless
  • These need to stay cold until the very second they hit the chocolate or you will have a melted disaster on your hands
03 -
  • Wash your hands between rolling and dipping or you will accidentally season the chocolate with cookie crumbs
  • If you cannot find mint Oreos regular ones plus half teaspoon peppermint extract works but honestly the real thing tastes better
