1. Pulse Oreos in a food processor until finely crushed (should resemble wet sand).
2. In a bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add Oreo crumbs (and peppermint extract, if using); mix until a thick, pliable dough forms.
3. Roll into 1″ balls (about 24). Place on a parchment-lined tray. Freeze 20 mins to firm.
4. Melt green candy melts (or white chocolate + gel coloring) per package instructions—stir in extra coloring for vibrant hue.
5. Dip each ball using a fork or toothpick: submerge, tap off excess, return to tray. Immediately press 1–2 red heart sprinkles on top.
6. Let set at room temp 15 mins (or chill 5 mins). Store chilled in an airtight container.
