Mint extract is often cheaper and provides a similar flavor.

🥗Healthier: yogurt coating

💰Cheaper: vanilla candy melts

Vanilla candy melts can be a cost-effective alternative for coating.

Crush the mint Oreos in a food processor until they resemble fine sand with no chunks.

Transfer the crushed Oreos to a mixing bowl.

Cut the cream cheese into pieces and add it to the crushed Oreos.

Blend the mixture until fully combined and it forms a dough-like consistency.

Scoop out portions of the mixture and roll them into balls, wetting hands if necessary to prevent sticking.

Place the rolled balls in the freezer for about 30 minutes to firm up.

Melt the vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl for 1 minute, then stir.

Continue microwaving in 30-second increments until completely melted, stirring in between.

Add green gel food coloring to the melted almond bark slowly until the desired color is achieved.

Dip each truffle in the green almond bark, allowing excess to drip off.

Place dipped truffles on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Top each truffle with a red candy heart before the chocolate sets.
