A super-rich, fudge brownie loaded with minty flavor, topped with a luscious mint oreo truffle layer and smothered in a mint-spiked chocolate coating. These Mint Oreo Truffle Brownies are perfect for the holiday season!
If you have never had a truffle brownie.. stop what you are doing RIGHT this second and make a batch. They will be the best brownies you will ever have. You can quote me on that. These brownies are super rich and chocolate-y + loaded with minty flavor, topped with a luscious mint Oreo truffle layer and then smothered in a mint spiked chocolate coating. Talk. About. AMAZING.
These are so crazy simple to throw together. I used my trusty favorite brownie recipe that are made in one bowl and come together in minutes. This time though, I used a mixture of regular cocoa powder and dark cocoa powder just to really give the brownies the extra oomph of rich chocolate flavor.

📋 Recipe
Mint Oreo Truffle Brownies
Ingredients
Brownie Layer
- 10 tbs unsalted butter
- 1 ¼ cup granulated sugar
- ¼ cup +3 tbs regular cocoa powder
- ¼ cup + 3 tbs dark cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ teaspoon peppermint extract
- 2 eggs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup Andes Baking Chips
Truffle Layer
- 4 oz cream cheese, cubed & at room temperature
- 1 30 Oreo cookies
Chocolate Layer
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 teaspoon shortening
- 1-3 drops peppermint extract
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Line a 9x9 baking pan with parchment paper, set aside.
For the brownies
- Place butter, both cocoa powders and sugar in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds, or until butter is melted. Mix everything together until smooth.
- Add in eggs, vanilla and peppermint extract and mix until smooth. Add Andes chips at this point because it is hard to evenly distribute when flour is added. Pour in the flour and mix until everything is completely combined. The batter will be very thick.
- Pour the batter into your prepared baking pan and smooth it out until level. Bake for 22-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out slightly moist with a little bit of batter left on it - the top will not look so "wet" anymore when they are done. This is what makes them fudgy. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan.
For the oreo truffle layer
- In a large food processor, add whole package of mint Oreo cookies and pulse into a fine crumb. Dump in cream cheese and pulse until a dough-like consistency forms and you can't see the white of the cream cheese anymore. Pack this truffle layer on top of the warm brownies.
For the chocolate layer
- In a small bowl, melt the chocolate chips and shortening at 30 second increments in the microwave until completely smooth and pourable. Stir in peppermint extract. Pour the chocolate on top of the truffle layer and spread it out with a rubber spatula into a smooth and even layer. Allow to cool completely and for the chocolate layer to set up before cutting.
