I have never had an Oreo or Oreo dessert that wasn’t oh so good. But Oreo Truffles has to be the best and I’m definitely trying these asap!!
St. Patrick’s Day is HUGE at my boyfriend’s house! I made these and they were a HIT! However, the AirHead Xtreme strips don’t stand up like they do in the picture without some type of solid base – I had to lay them somewhat flat to where they hung off the side of the oreo.
