I can’t help myself. I have to break out the candy canes. I know, it’s not even Thanksgiving yet, but the candy canes and chocolate and peppermint goodies on store shelves are calling to me.
And thus I must do things like Candy Cane Oreo Truffle Cones. I made some Oreo Truffle cones for Halloween and I have to say, I really like using the mini cones. They aren’t as messy to dip as just truffles and they seem a fair amount easier to dip than pops on sticks. And no bake, gotta love that.
I made these the way I always make my Oreo truffles.
For this version I used the Candy Cane Oreos (found at Target), Philadelphia Indulgence Chocolate Cream Cheese, crushed up candy canes, Wilton Candy Cane Melts, Joy Mini Cones (found at Walmart), Chocolate CandiQuik Coating and topped them with sprinkles, crushed candy canes and White Chocolate Peppermint M&M’s (found at Target).
I used 14 Oreos and about 3 1/2 to 4 tablespoons of the chocolate cream cheese.
First you make your Oreo truffle mixture. I added about 2 tsp crushed candy canes, but you can leave them out.
Rolled them into balls.
Then popped them into the fridge to chill for a few minutes. While doing that I set up my mini cones in my Kupcake Konz pan (love this pan!). Next I melted my chocolate. Then I dipped the bottom of each truffle into the chocolate coating and then sat it on a cone. This step allows the truffles to stick to the cones when you are ready to dip the entire truffle into your chocolate.
Back into the fridge to chill for a few minutes. Once the chocolate is completely set, then you can dip them into the chocolate coating.
After that chocolate sets up, I spooned a bit of regular chocolate coating on top of each and garnished with either sprinkles or crushed candy canes and topped with a White Chocolate Peppermint M&M.
Simple as that!

Candy Cane Oreo Truffle Cones
Ingredients
- 15 Candy Cane Oreos
- 4 tablespoons Chocolate Cream Cheese softened
- 2 teaspoons Crushed Candy Canes (optional)
- 8 ounces Wilton Candy Cane Melts
- 4 ounces Chocolate Melts
- 12 Joy Mini Cones
- Sprinkles (crushed candy canes and M&M’s for garnishing)
Instructions
- Crush Oreos in food process.
- Once crushed, combine with chocolate cream cheese and crushed candy canes. Combine well with hands. Once well combined roll into 12 balls, approx 1-1 1/2" in diameter. Put in fridge to chill for 20 minutes.
- While chilling, prepare your cones and melt your Wilton Candy Cane Melts according to directions on package. Remove truffles from fridge and quickly dip the bottom half of each truffle in Candy Cane Melts, and then immediately place onto a cone. Return cones with truffles on top to fridge to chill.
- Once Candy Cane Melts have fully set (approx 10 minutes in fridge), remove from fridge and dip each cone into the Candy Cane Melts to fully cover the truffle.
- Once chocolate has set, melt regular chocolate coating and spoon a bit on top of each cone. Top immediately with crushed candy canes, sprinkles and M&M's. Enjoy!

Meet Christi, Love From The Oven
I’m Christi I love sharing easy & delicious recipes that your family & friends will love. I’m a mom, baker, cookbook author and lover of sprinkles.
Those are absolutely adorable! I haven’t seen the mini cones, but are they about the right size for a truffle? With truffles being such an indulgence, I wouldn’t want them to be too big:)
Okay you just rocked my world in a big way. Not gonna lie, I sorta love it. These are so cool.
Oh wow! Such a cute treat 😀
I am so jealous you have so many cool things to use. We don’t get those in NewZealand just plain oreo’s at this stage. We don’t even have those M&M’s! Anytime anyone wants to do a “lollie” swap with someone from NZ pick me! lol
Love your blog and your creations – usually i just watch you from a distance but as you get closer to christmas you have so many yummy things i wish i could have a go at making.
Thank so much for sharing
ooooo! this is going on my holiday treat to do list 🙂
I am so glad to see you breaking out the peppermint stuff:-) (I baked with peppermint today too:-) These cones are just so stinking adorable!!!!
I. Love. This. SO SO MUCH! Chocolate and peppermint are my favorite during the holidays–I cannot get enough peppermint. And I need those Oreos AND those melts AND those candies ASAP. And well, everything about this.
So cute! And thank you for offering up the non-minty option as well. My son loves mint but my daughter hasn’t acquired a taste for it yet, so having options is fantastic! Love this website!
Ugh. These are so cute I can’t even stand it.
I’m not a fan of minty things unless it is gum, toothpaste, or mouthwash, but I’d love to make these with other flavors!
Erin, you can totally go the non candy cane route with these, just use regular Oreos and Melts and leave out the crushed candy canes. My love of mint seems to be tied to candy canes, because it’s really not there the rest of the year. 😉
